AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemSlick

System-wide dictation that learns your writing style from edits, not just prompts.

Strengths

•Style fingerprinting based on actual edits rather than just few-shot prompting.
•Free unlimited unpersonalized tier removes friction for adoption.
•Works across any text field without app-specific integrations.

Weaknesses

•Competes directly with free, built-in OS dictation that already works well.
•Privacy concerns with system-wide audio capture for enterprise users.

Post Description

Hey HN!

We were part of YC S24, ended up pivoting around. Made dictation that worked really well, and decided to go all in on agentic.

We've done two major things. 1. Scribe is a revamp of our product. Continually learns your style (can get into details if comments want). TLDR; we fingerprint based off your edits, and make dictation sound more and more like you. Post-trained Llama 3.1 8b.

2. Dictation is completely free. Unlimited unpersonalized dictation for everyone.
