News Summary

• AI is increasingly enabling people to ditch their keyboards and just dictate what they need doing.
• That includes everything from shooting off an email to drafting a presentation to vibe coding custom apps.
• Dictation tools have been around for decades, and largely been commoditized to the point that your iPhone or Android device's on-screen keyboard app ships with a free one.
• Today, you can have an open source dictation app like Handy run a fully local machine learning model on your computer and ensure your speech is never sent to the cloud for processing.
