Is Hapi better for pure dictation?

Hapi is focused solely on dictation and may have optimizations for that single task. Echoo combines dictation with AI text transformation for a more powerful workflow.

Can I dictate and then fix grammar in one step?

Yes! Echoo's Voice Instruct mode lets you dictate and apply AI post-processing (grammar fix, translation, tone change) in a single shortcut.
