Technology Explorations in Data & AI

Emil Krause and Jonny Daenen explore the claim that speech-to-text makes you three times as fast. Emil shows the functionalities and benefits of SuperWhisper and Whisper Assistant, two innovative speech-to-text tools designed to enhance productivity. 

They discuss the installation process, user experience, and the accuracy of these tools. Emil shares insights on how these tools can streamline workflows, particularly for those who frequently interact with AI, and emphasizes the importance of context in dictation. It turns out that SuperWhisper gives much better accuracy when it comes to technical terms.
