Open the original (DOI 10.48550/arXiv.2302.09044)- What it measures
- The authors describe a typical dictation design. The user starts and stops with a button, not with a wake word.
- What it does not show
- A typical design, not a rule. Some dictation, such as Apple's Mac Dictation, also stops by itself after a period of silence.
