Why it surfaced
SayCtrl goes beyond transcription: say “take a screenshot” mid-sentence and the image lands where you were speaking, while “attach the PDF from downloads” can act on a file. It also offers downloadable local models, with the page promising that audio can stay on the Mac and work without Wi-Fi.
