How It Works

Three steps.
Zero friction.

Launch Once

The app opens, shows `I am ready`, and begins warming up the selected model in the background.

02

Press the Hotkey

Hit Ctrl + Alt + Space from anywhere to start listening.

03

Get the Text

Your words are transcribed locally and pasted into the active app or copied to the clipboard.

Mode A

Auto Paste

Text is pasted directly into the active search bar, editor, form, or chat box after transcription.

Mode B
