Voice typing on Letterboxd that actually knows who Claire Denis is
Where film opinions live. Reviews, lists, the running diary of everything you've watched. mmumble is an AI voice keyboard for iPhone that gets the names of directors, films, and the things they reference right the first time, so a Letterboxd review can be talked instead of thumb-typed
Letterboxd is one of the only places on the internet where the writing is the point. A Letterboxd review is a tiny piece of criticism, and tiny criticism only works if the names of films, directors, actors, and the things they reference come through clean. Apple Dictation does not know who Akerman or Ozu or Pedro Costa is, and turns half of them into kitchen appliances. The whole appeal of the platform, talking about films like you'd talk about them at the bar, gets ruined by a transcriber that can't spell the films.
How mmumble handles Letterboxd
mmumble's LLM cleanup pass actually knows who Pedro Costa is. Long takes, runtime jokes, the comparison you wanted to make to a Tsai Ming-liang scene. They survive the trip from your mouth to the cursor. You can talk a review on the walk home and have it readable by the time you sit down.

watched apichatpong's memoria last night and i can't stop thinking about it, the use of sound is doing something i haven't quite felt before, the long take in the recording studio especially. swinton's character is barely a character which i think is the point, she's a vessel for the listening more than someone with a psychology. the cinematography is restrained in a way that makes the eventual eruption feel earned rather than imposed. also the ambient field recordings throughout feel like they belong to a different film that's running parallel to the one you're watching · watched apichatpong's memoria last night and i can't stop thinking about it, the use of sound is doing something i haven't quite felt before, the long take in the recording studio especially. swinton's character is barely a character which i think is the point, she's a vessel for the listening more than someone with a psychology. the cinematography is restrained in a way that makes the eventual eruption feel earned rather than imposed. also the ambient field recordings throughout feel like they belong to a different film that's running parallel to the one you're watching ·
