- Mac users who dictate across multiple apps
- Worth noticing
- The page says a slow or failed AI cleanup falls back to pasting the raw Whisper transcript.
Field notes
The demo shows different styles for apps such as Slack, Mail, Cursor, and Notes, and lets a visitor try the interaction on the page. Users can choose another recording key, cancel with Escape, or set app-specific writing styles; if cleanup is slow or fails, the page says the raw transcript is pasted instead.
