"One of the most effective use cases to have emerged from modern AI models is their ability to understand the human voice better, which has led to more accurate dictation tools. One such Mac tool, Willow, is launching an iOS app to let users type with their voice across all apps. Similar to Wispr Flow, Willow's keyboard transcribes your voice and also formats the message according to the context. The app, which supports over 100 languages, lets you define your own vocabulary terms or create different writing styles across app categories like work, messaging, email, and others."
"One key advantage of Willow's app is that there is a full keyboard available to type, whereas Wispr Flow only offers a numeric keyboard. This helps with quick edits to modify some words or sentences rather than typing them out. Plus, you don't have to switch to another keyboard when you want to type some words instead of speaking them."
"While we were working on healthcare solutions, we noticed that doctors have voice AI scribes that record conversations with patients and create documents for follow-ups. I had a lot of conversations with doctors; they said these notetakers were very useful to them. This nudged us to build a voice AI tool for knowledge workers and other users,"
Willow is launching an iOS keyboard app that transcribes voice input and formats messages based on context, enabling typing with voice across all apps. The app supports over 100 languages and allows users to define custom vocabulary and different writing styles for categories like work, messaging, and email. The keyboard includes a full set of keys to enable quick manual edits without switching keyboards. Willow was founded by Allan Guo and Lawrence Liu after leaving Stanford and joined Y Combinator. The company pivoted from healthcare ideas toward a voice AI dictation tool and focuses on using multiple models and heavy model tuning.
