Speech to text has never been the smooth system they promiised us.

I'm sorry for your shoulder pain and your computer pain.

I've found speaking to Google did better than other programs, but I am loathe to use Google for anything atm.

I'm curious what app you're using. You might look at Dragon Naturallly Speaking—it's not free like the built-in dictation in Apple or Google products, but you can add specialized dictionaries. We use it at the University of Rochester Medical Center (NY, USA) for medical dictation.

This appears to be aimed more at educational licensing and student users, but it might still apply to your situation.

FWIW, the industry term is Automatic Speech Recognition or ASR. I searched on "ASR dictionaries" and got a bunch of hits.

Thank you! It's helpful to have the right search terms. :)

NP 🙂

BTW, I have one (adult) daughter on the spectrum and another with ADD. I'm (clinically) a bit OCD. We do neuro-atypical here.
