- Worth noticing
- Correct a name once and it joins the dictionary; selected text can also be rewritten in Simplified Technical English.
Field notes
The page describes a menu-bar workflow: hold Fn to dictate where the cursor is, or tap once for hands-free dictation. It says corrected words can be added to a dictionary and that Option-S rewrites a field or selection into Simplified Technical English. The free route uses the user's provider keys; Pro supplies its own, with a stated 15-second wait for requests after 30 hours of monthly use.
