In iOS this means you can edit the text as it’s being transcribed. For example, I want to dictate a todo list and after each item I can hit enter to go to the next line.

While this system should in theory make it easy to calculate the days need to complete a task, I still find myself converting to Month-Day every time. On the other hand, I don't have a clue what day of the week March 2nd is going to be, but if it's called WW9.5, then I immediately know that it's on a Friday 9 weeks from now.
