For
People who dictate messages or notes across desktop apps
Worth noticing
The Max model reports 1.8% word error on an 11-clip test; the site identifies this as its own measurement.

Field notes

The main workflow is a hold-to-dictate shortcut followed by cleaned text inserted into the app in use; the page illustrates results for chat, mail, team chat, and notes. Umless says the app runs locally and needs an online connection once to download its models. Its published figures include a 355 ms typical wait on an M5 MacBook Air and a Max-model accuracy result from an 11-clip test.
