- Mac users who want screen-aware voice help
- Worth noticing
- Scheduled routines run only while the Mac is awake and HeyCompu is open, and are described as never using the screen or mouse.
Field notes
HeyCompu's page walks through separate input modes: Control+Option for spoken questions about the current screen, Control+Fn for dictation into the active field, and named helpers for delegated jobs. Routines can be scheduled or paused, but the page says they run on the Mac only while it is awake and the app is open; they do not use the screen or mouse. The site also describes helper outputs as previewable files in formats including CSV, JSON, HTML, and SVG.
