Why voice typing in WhatsApp hurts today
WhatsApp's answer to typing has long been the voice note, and that's fine if your reader has time to listen. But not everyone does, and not every message needs to be a 47-second audio file the other person scrubs through to find the actual point. Apple Dictation in WhatsApp gives you the same mangled-proper-nouns experience as everywhere else, plus the bilingual code-switching that WhatsApp users do constantly makes it worse.
How mmumble handles WhatsApp
mmumble transcribes your voice into clean text in any of the 99+ languages it supports. If your family chat swings between English and another language mid-sentence, mmumble handles that. Names of cities, dishes, people. Proper nouns are where it matters most, and where Apple Dictation falls down hardest.
