Field notes
The site describes two input paths: an fn-key shortcut on Mac and a Dictator keyboard microphone on iPhone. Its formatting layer is intended to add punctuation and capitalization, remove filler words, and divide long speech into paragraphs. The homepage also offers register controls, including Patois and Shakespearean, and says a later cloud tier will target higher accuracy and speed.
