Dictation in ChatGPT Android : 👍

Dictation in ChatGPT on Android is rock solid.
I've used it for many months and it has always worked great.
I've dictated extremely long messages and it always handles them great.
If there's ever an app glitch or other issue, the dictation feature always recovers gracefully.
The resulting dictation text is always shown even if there's an issue so that I can copy the text and maybe restart the app if needed.

When it works, yes, it works great.
