Field notes

DictateSI describes a macOS menu-bar workflow: hold Control–Option–Space in another app, speak, and have text inserted at the cursor after transcription and cleanup. The page names whisper.cpp, the Apple Neural Engine, a bundled small model, domain vocabularies for loan numbers and legal citations, and MDM or air-gapped deployment. It also links version 0.8.1 (~9 MB) and a pilot one-pager; the site says teams can connect an existing Anthropic, OpenAI, or Azure account for cleanup.
