- For
- iPhone users with non-standard speech and their support circles
- Worth noticing
- A starter set of about 50 spoken sentences feeds Mac-side training that the site says usually takes 30–90 minutes.
Field notes
The training flow moves recordings through a shared iCloud folder to a Mac app, which creates the speech profile; the site says the profile itself contains no audio files. It lists an Apple-chip Mac (M1 or newer), macOS 14 or newer, and around 10 GB of free storage as requirements. The page also says the iPhone app is intended to handle recognition and translation on-device.
