Today, I came across an interesting dictation tool, and a very cool AI book writing application.
Amical
It’s somewhat differentiated from some of the other dictation tools that I’ve seen. It’s open source (and free). This is the Github link for reference.
It can be trained with my custom vocabulary and it’s context aware so it knows if I am writing an email or a Slack message and customizes the output accordingly (these are probably the biggest differentiators). Support for 100+ languages and keyboard shortcuts is a plus. I downloaded it on my Mac and started using it. It’s really great, works very well and is very easy to use. I think I’m going to continue using it.

I was immediately drawn by the well done dashboard that guides writers into a workflow. I signed up for the free tier right away and started exploring it. There is something about a great UI combined with a workflow that makes you do steps in the right order without thinking.
Worth mentioning that I bought FirstBookAI which is a fantastic alternative for a $49 lifetime account. With a tool like this who doesn’t want to write a book?
