Where do my words go?+
It depends how you run it. With local models, dictation runs on your machine and the audio stays there. With your own API key, audio and text go straight from the app to the provider you picked. On Pro, when it launches, they'll go through our server to the providers and won't be stored. Polish, Grammar, Translate, Explain and Pronounce always use a writing provider, even when dictation is on-device. If a writing request fails, the app can re-send it to a fallback provider, automatically by default, and you can turn that off. Meeting audio is always transcribed on your Mac, and only the transcript text goes out, for the summary. The app has no telemetry and no analytics.
Why would I pay for Pro?+
You don't have to. The free options need no account and no card. Pro is convenience: no provider accounts, no keys and no dictation model to download. Meeting notes still run on-device. It's coming soon.
How will the Pro trial work?+
You'll get 30 minutes of dictation audio free, with no card. You'll need an account. The minutes don't expire, and writing tools are included while you have minutes left.
What languages does it understand?+
By default it detects the language you're speaking. Naming the language improves accuracy, but forces it, so speech in another language comes back mangled. The smallest on-device model, Tiny, is English only. Accuracy depends on the model and your accent, so we don't quote a number.
Can I download it today?+
Not yet. The download isn't available from this site today. It will be free when it is.
