Field notes
EasyType uses a hold-to-speak interaction: the user selects Fn, right Command, or right Option, dictates into the active field, and releases to insert the text. Its correction layer targets names and technical vocabulary, with examples such as Gemini, Claude Code, codebase, and root cause. The page says the initial speech-model download is about 630MB, after which dictation works offline on Apple Silicon Macs.
