Letterly

Finally, a program that can record my dictations where I can pause and think without the recording stopping, unlike the built-in Windows recorder, which creates new short sentences that are hopeless to try to edit. The program is incredibly easy to use. I use the web version, and it's just a matter of pressing record and starting to speak. Afterwards, there are several prompts you can use to improve the text, simplify, shorten. You can write your own custom prompts, which is very helpful.

However, I think the program lacks two important features, and I'm a bit surprised that it has been around for so long without these basic functions.
- One is the ability to pause your dictation, fix the text, see what's missing, and then continue speaking into the same text. Unfortunately, that's not possible; you can only do one round, then you have to start a new dictation. It's a bit frustrating, and I hope that feature will be added soon.
- Also, when you have a lot of different notes, dictations, or whatever you want to call them, and you want to delete them, you have to select them one by one. Come on. Surely there should be a bulk "Select all," "All within the same day," "All within the entire segment." Come on, it's so basic that it should be here too.

As a pure voice recording tool, it's a fantastic program. But I wonder a bit why it doesn't have basic features. It makes me a little puzzled. I also hope to see a roadmap so we can see what's coming. But it's safe to say that the program does what it's supposed to without a lot of frills. We appreciate that.

P.S. When you copy your recorded text, all formatting is lost, which is incredibly annoying as you have to redo the formatting where you paste it.
