What it means
Dictation history is the recent backlog of text generated through speech input. It gives the user a second chance when they inserted something into the wrong place or lost it entirely.
Why it matters in practice
Voice input is fast but not always easy to reconstruct from memory. History makes the workflow less brittle because the last few results are still recoverable.
Why it matters in Mallo
Mallo aims to feel lightweight, but lightweight should not mean disposable. A practical history feature can reduce fear around using voice input for work that matters.
