Field notes
According to the page, a shortcut captures speech, transcribes it on the Mac, applies on-device cleanup, and inserts the result at the cursor; users can also request translation, summaries, or edits to selected text. A 20-second reading sample is used to learn the speaker’s voice, and corrected terms can be added to a personal dictionary. The site lists 932 specialist terms at setup and says the initial component download is about 8 GB.
