Dictation mode
Speak and get clean written text pasted at your cursor. Dictation is the default mode and the one you'll use most.

Starting and stopping a recording
Dictation supports two independent triggers, both driven by the native key listener so they fire while you are in other apps:
Hold to talk
Default ⇧+Space. Recording runs while the keys are held and stops the moment you release them.
Toggle
Default `. Tap once to start, tap again to stop — good for longer, hands-free dictation.
What AI polish does
With enablePolish on (the default), the raw transcript is sent to a language model that rewrites it as clean written text. The rewriter is instructed to act as a rewriter, not an assistant: it never answers questions in your speech, never translates, and keeps roughly the same length as what you said.
- Filler words, false starts, and repetitions are removed.
- Speech with multiple points is restructured into a numbered list; a single thought stays as prose.
- The original language is preserved exactly — including code-switching between languages mid-sentence.
- App and window context (and any selected text) are passed as hints so technical terms and variable names survive.
Polish always fails safe
