What to evaluate
Aivo focuses on high-intent voice typing: messages, notes, email, Slack updates and AI prompts where the final wording matters.
Where text lands
A keyboard-style workflow is useful if you want voice input in many apps.
Cleanup quality
Good dictation should produce usable text, not just a literal transcript.
