- For
- People who want voice dictation across computer and iPhone
- Worth noticing
- The site says an internet connection is needed only to download the speech model; iPhone-to-computer dictation uses home Wi-Fi.
Field notes
The computer workflow uses Right Ctrl on Windows or Right ⌘ on Mac, with a second press ending dictation. The site also describes an iPhone route: dictate on the phone and send the text to a computer over home Wi-Fi. Listed requirements include Apple silicon M1 or newer for Mac and iOS 26 or later for iPhone.
