The manual

The short version: Hold a key. Speak. Get text. That’s the whole app. The pages below cover everything else: tweaking the hotkey, transcribing files, writing postprocessing rules, and the half-dozen settings most people never touch but eventually love.

Getting started

Download the speech model, grant the right permissions, and test your first transcription.

Dictation

The hold-to-record workflow, hotkey choices, grace period, double-tap latch, and how to bail.

Transcribing files

Drag a meeting recording, voice memo, or video clip in and get text. Locally, of course.

Postprocessing

Replacement rules, cancel phrases, and filtering Whisper’s occasional [music] aside.

Settings & appearance

Microphones, languages, output mode, the recording overlay, sounds, and other knobs.

Free vs Pro

What’s in the free version, what unlocking Pro changes, and how to restore a purchase.
