Loquil vs Windows voice typing (Win+H): what AI cleanup changes
Windows voice typing (Win+H) is free, built into Windows 10 and 11 and transcribes into any text field — but word for word, with punctuation you have to dictate and no cleanup. Loquil is a separate app that does the same system-wide dictation and adds an AI step: fillers removed, punctuation and paragraphs added, optional rewrite, summary and translation into 35+ languages. If you dictate short notes, Win+H is fine; for emails and documents the AI cleanup is what saves the editing time.

Which one to choose
Win+H is the right tool if you dictate occasionally and don't mind editing. Loquil pays off as soon as you dictate emails, messages or documents every day: the text arrives finished, and the same account works on Android and Linux. Try the free plan side by side with Win+H on the same email and compare the editing you have to do.
