Yeah! Streaming is crucial for any real time use.

My very first vibe-coded app (~Sonnet 3.6) was a dictation client for personal use.

I don't really understand how streaming would work compared against my normal flows. When I dictate, I set a toggle and then do stream of thought as I poke around between windows. When I'm ready to 'flush', I navigate to some target and give it focus for the text to flow.

Does dictation software now keep sort of unfocused floater previews and come with to-clipboard shortcuts or similar?

That's how it works! When you finish your dictation, Handy pastes it into whatever text field is focused.

I find the preview to be really important for building trust that it actually understands what I'm saying.

Is there a equivalent of Handy for Android?
