As many other people commented on similar projects, one of the issues of trying to use voice dictation instead of typing is the lack of real-time visual indication. When we write, we immediately see the text, which helps to keep the thought (especially in longer sentences/paragraphs). But with dictation, it either comes with a delay or only when dictation is over, and it doesn't feel as comfortable as writing. Tangentially, many people "think as they write" and dictation doesn't offer that experience.
I wonder if it changes with time for people who use dictation often.
I think there is still some use to diction. For me it’s a great way to get screenplays on paper. I can type fast but I can think and speak faster. I just record a stream of thought of the story/video I want, even if I jump all over the place it doesn’t matter, just a nice stream of consciousness. Afterwards I spend time editing and putting things in the right order and clean up. I find this much faster than just writing.
I use whisperfile which is a multiplatform implementation of whisper that works really well.

There are many situations where dictation makes far more sense. Around here, all doctors dictate into a recorder (often with a foot pedal) that the nurse transcribes, because typing would be distracting and also unsanitary when examining the patient. Some have started using machine transcription, often in the cloud. This is terrible for privacy and security, even when it's "GDPR certified", whatever that means. Having a local option is amazing for that.
Similarly, I've used dictation when working on something physical, like reverse engineering some hardware, where my table is full of disassembled electronics, I might be carefully holding a probe or something like that, and having to put everything down just to write "X volts on probe Y" would slow me down.
