As a kid, I'd watch my dad dictate medical reports into a tape recorder. He'd speak his findings and then give the cassettes to a secretary for transcription. But while I knew dictation worked, I never did it because the tools weren't easily available.

That's changed completely. The barrier that kept dictation specialist-only has disappeared.

Wispr Flow, Superwhisper, even ChatGPT, all turn speech directly into text now, making dictation one of the most essential creative skills of this era. No specialized equipment or transcriptionist needed.
