- Worth noticing
- Recordings are opt-in, stored as plain files, and scheduled fine-tuning waits for idle time and mains power.
Field notes
After installation, a hotkey sends dictation into the focused desktop app, with text committed when speech stops. The page says recordings and fine-tuned models remain as readable files on the Linux machine; recording is off by default. Learning can be scheduled daily or weekly and waits for idle time on mains power, while a new model is retained only if it beats the current one on clips it has not trained on.
