Skrim’s hold-to-dictate workflow

Field notes

The Mac flow uses Right Option by default; Esc or pressing another key cancels, and a double-tap can lock recording for hands-free speech. Text goes to the active cursor, or to the clipboard if no text field is available; the page also describes app-specific cleanup, spoken-list formatting, snippets, and local history. Skrim says audio goes directly to the selected provider and is deleted after transcription unless the user keeps it, while notes and history remain on-device.
