User level: Level 1 (73 points)Since Siri can't handle mixed-language dictation, I want to use ChatGPT to handle my dictation for WhatsApp messages. Is there any way to do this?
I have tried doing it with a shortcut, but have not been able to find any way to send audio to ChatGPT for transcription.

Almost! Here's the stupid problem: the dictate text feature requires that you decide ahead of time what language you are going to dictate in. I'm also pretty sure that you can't toggle the languages on the fly when using CarPlay – I think you have to actually change the language setting on the keyboard.
The "transcribe text" feature handles the dynamic language, identification, and mix of languages perfectly… But does not have any hands-free way of stopping itself when you stop talking.
So one feature handles the starting and stopping well, but can't handle the language mix. The other handles, the language mix, but not the starting and stopping.

Could Shortcuts 'Dictate Text' action work as a starting point?...
