Mixed-language dictation accuracy needs improvement

I really appreciate the design of the Monologue app, as it’s visually polished and the overall aesthetic is genuinely enjoyable to use.

That said, I’ve been encountering several issues when using it for dictation.

When I speak a mixture of Chinese and English, the transcription accuracy drops noticeably. The system often interprets Chinese words as phonetically similar English words, which makes the output unreliable. Compared to other apps such as Typeless, the mixed-language handling feels less robust.

Even when I dictate in Chinese only, I’ve noticed a few recurring problems:

  • The transcription accuracy is inconsistent, as it occasionally mishears words or breaks sentences at awkward points

  • The post-processing does not seem to refine or polish Chinese text as effectively as it does for English.

I’m sharing this in the hope that multilingual support, especially for mixed Chinese-English input, can be further improved.
