Our current system is... outlook and excel. which, looking at it written out, is embarrassing.

we have no idea which leads came from referrals vs website vs cold outreach vs trade shows. we just close deals and don't track the source.

starting to think this is why we keep spending money on channels that don't work — because we literally can't tell which ones do.

what are you using for CRM and do you actually track attribution? if so, what did you learn about which channels perform?

I tracked my wispr flow usage across 1,800 dictations over 6 weeks because I wanted to know if my frustration was justified.

clean transcriptions (accurate, inserted correctly): 60%

minor errors (wrong word, still usable): 20%

major errors (dropped phrases, hallucinated words): 10%

failures (hung, didn't insert, crashed): 10%

during my trial the clean accuracy rate was closer to 90%. something changed after I paid for the annual plan.

is 60% clean accuracy worth $144/year? it's still faster than typing even with the editing. but I can't send a dictated email without proofreading every word because of the 10% major error rate. that proofreading time partially negates the speed benefit.

I reached out to support with detailed examples and timestamps. got an AI bot response about checking my internet connection. replied three more times. never got a human response.

I ran willow voice for the last 2 weeks of my tracking period. clean accuracy was around 85% across 400 dictations. smaller sample but noticeably better and consistent.

I have 7 months left on my wispr annual. I've basically written it off and I'm using willow as my primary. the gap between the trial experience and what I'm actually getting is wide enough that it feels dishonest.

has anyone managed to get a human at wispr support? genuinely asking.

My son’s been getting super into golf lately, and now he won’t shut up about these AR golf glasses lol.. But from what I get, he’s not expecting it to fix his swing or anything. He just says as a beginner he’s always guessing distances, checking yardages, picking clubs etc, and having all that info right in front of him would make things way easier+help him make better calls on the course.

We already got a mileseey rangefinder and it’s been working pretty well, so I'm looking at their AR glasses too. But the problem is, I can’t really find many real reviews from ppl who’ve actually used it for more than a couple rounds. So for those who’ve tried AR golf glasses, do they actually make things more convenient on course esp for beginners? Or is this just another golf gadget phase and he’s been watching too many tech vids lol?

I was at a self-serve frozen yogurt place today and the whole process was me grabbing my cup, filling it myself, weighing it, and paying at the counter. No one brought me anything. No one cleared my table. I did everything myself.

When I went to pay, the screen had tip options pre-selected at 20%, 25%, and 30%. No "no tip" button was visible. I had to search for it.

I feel like this has become so common lately and I honestly do not know what to do anymore. I always tip at restaurants with table service. I get that servers rely on tips and I respect that. But when I am doing all the work myself, I am not sure if I should feel guilty for hitting no tip.

Has anyone else noticed this spreading to more places? Where do you draw the line? Not trying to be cheap. Genuinely curious how other people handle these situations.
