A Reddit user seeks local LLM-based speech-to-text solutions for Windows that can rival Dragon Professional, specifically regarding the ability to edit pasted text and load words during recording.

  • The author notes that current tools like Handy.computer and SottoScribe cannot handle incremental input.
  • Speech to Windows Input (STWI) and Dictate were identified as real-time transcription options, but both rely on cloud services.
  • STWI allows editing previous text using the backspace key, while Dictate can rewrite selected text, though neither matches Dragon's on-the-fly capabilities.
