Monologue

Love the accuracy on Monologue, and it handles multiple Indian languages. Would recommend!

I mean this wholeheartedly. Monologue is the app that I would honestly be sad if it went away. It is the one app I would take with me on a deserted island out of all the ones on my computer because it overlays over everything else that I'm doing on my computer. It has saved me so much time, so much effort; talking is way faster than typing, and I cannot picture my daily life without it. If you work at a computer, if you are a creator or a builder or do anything on a Mac or a PC, you really need this. It becomes a thought partner because you're constantly saying your thoughts out loud. It's helping me articulate the things that I need to communicate so much easier, and it's just been a lifesaver.

I've been using this app heavily for the past month, and I can't think of any other product besides LLMs that have unlocked more productivity gains in the last few years. I especially love its contextual awareness of the application I'm in and the custom instructions I can give. It's fantastic for composing quick replies in Microsoft Teams or Outlook, or even composing messages to LLMs themselves. I've found that I'm using LLMs even more aggressively than before because it's so much easier to communicate what I want. Even though I'm a very effective typist, it's just so much easier to say it.

The only downside is that I'm an office worker, and I have to continually close my door so my co‑workers aren't hearing everything I'm saying to myself and thinking I'm crazy in here.
