Recently I’ve been using my iPad as a transcription “keyboard” for my laptop when writing documents in Dropbox paper. Open the document on both computers, then use dictate to enter all text, and then correct if necessary with the laptop. I’m expecting to move to iPad only when I can use stage manager with an external monitor.

Dictation is also great when writing in a foreign language: I speak German ok-ish, writing is harder. Dictation helps writing more correct German.
