Voice typing on X without the press-release punctuation
Still the loudest text platform on the internet. mmumble is an AI voice keyboard for iPhone that handles X's short-form register, niche proper nouns, and the lowercase-if-you-write-lowercase posting style
X is punchlines, takes, in-jokes, screenshots-with-quote-tweets. Apple Dictation punctuates every post like a press release, capitalizes the start of every sentence, strips the irony, and mangles the names of every band, journalist, researcher, and meme account the platform runs on. The voice that makes the post is the first thing dictation kills.
How mmumble handles X
Short-form register preserved. Lowercase stays lowercase. Proper nouns from the niches you post in come through. The voice the post needed is the same voice that came out of your mouth.
Post 3x faster on glass
The take is best when fresh. Voice typing posts it before the moment passes

the thing i keep coming back to about the current state of social platforms is that nobody is really competing on the writing anymore, the entire surface area is about either pictures or videos or short reactive takes to other people's short reactive takes. the closest thing we have to a place where the writing is the product is bluesky which is much smaller and substack which is paywalled. the absence of a mainstream surface where people are rewarded for putting actual sentences together is doing something to the way we all think and i don't have a clean answer to it but it bothers me more than it should · the thing i keep coming back to about the current state of social platforms is that nobody is really competing on the writing anymore, the entire surface area is about either pictures or videos or short reactive takes to other people's short reactive takes. the closest thing we have to a place where the writing is the product is bluesky which is much smaller and substack which is paywalled. the absence of a mainstream surface where people are rewarded for putting actual sentences together is doing something to the way we all think and i don't have a clean answer to it but it bothers me more than it should ·
