I tried #WhisperMemo this week and compared it with #IOS dictation via #DraftsApp on a 14 Pro Max running 17.4. All the dictation was done in German and in my work environment, with a mixture of office, outside with and without wind and inside the factory.

The text was then sent to my daily note in Obsidian.

Whisper Memo: mostly works fine, the louder the environment, the more “approximate” the text. Which would be fine, but there is a marked delay between dictating and seeing the result, as Whisper Memo sends the text to a server somewhere.

The delay means, in a noisy environment, you can’t be confident that the text will be usable when you get it back eventually.

Drafts App: works fine, when it does not, you see it immediately. No ambiguity.

Both systems use comma rules different from what I would.

Overall, in German, I see no advantage over IOS from Whisper Memo.
