There is also a new, larger voice to text model available... but not for an old iPhone like the 13 mini. Only like the iPhone 17 Pro and above.
The best workaround is a third party app that lets you run Parakeet V3 or Whisper on your phone. There are quite a few.
Dictus is one that I’ve been playing around with.
This is GREAT! It’s not possible to enable local-only dictation on iOS with the OS alone. :(
It’s by far the best speech to text I’ve ever used so I’m a fan
Can you clarify, you like third party? Or you like the larger Apple model
