Field notes
The homepage gives separate examples for Messages, AI chat, Notes, and Mail, with each output shaped differently from the spoken input. It also shows a control for replacing edited text with the exact words spoken. The site states that processing runs on the Mac and lists Apple silicon with macOS 26.5 as a requirement; its 99-language and speed figures are presented as product claims.
