But this is really cool. Its definitely a problem they have.
Just like paying for a smartphone or data or broadband.
Hopefully VoiceInk gets there. It is a neat project and really well done for a first time dev but rough around the edges. Careless is ~20$ and if you just need dictation is the best option.
