Smart rings are looking like my kind of AI gadget
TL;DR
Over the last few months, I've spent a lot of time talking to my computer. One underrated feature of the LLM revolution has been a remarkable leap in all kinds of dictation technology - even the fastest, cheapest models are getting very good at understanding and processing speech. I've tested lots of these apps, from WisprFlow to Monologue to Spokenly to Handy to so many others, and have found them all to be useful ways to quickly write emails, Slack messages, and more.
Nauti's Take
The first useful test is a tightly scoped voice workflow: capture short notes, messages, and tasks from the ring, then measure how often corrections are needed. Before buying, check microphone permissions, local processing, export options, battery life, and how dependent the device is on one companion app.
