A student unable to write by hand or keyboard needs an offline speech-to-text app that accurately converts their speech to written text without AI enhancement, for producing long essays and exams.

The built-in dictation function is inaccurate, causing many errors that require cumbersome manual corrections, and may not meet strict exam integrity requirements because it can include AI features or require connectivity.
