is Dicio horrible for you too? (f-droid.org)

I wanted to like this app so much. Offline dictation to issue commands to your phone like a non stalking version of Bixby, sounds awesome. The problem is the app is horrible (for me) at understanding English commands and a lot of times when it understands me it just doesn't do the action. Is there a way to fix this, do you have the same issues?

I found it could understand me if I speak clearly, but I had to disable speak to wake as it was a horrible battery drain.

Problem is it's not a native English app.

I uninstalled it. Nice idea . . and I'm sure someday a FOSS voice assistant will exist. Today is not that day.

It works surprisingly well for me, but then again, I don't really use it for anything that complicated. I mostly use it for speech-to-text.
