About
Push-to-talk AI dictation for any Mac app: hold fn, talk, and it types at your cursor. It uses OpenAI's gpt-transcribe and is billed by the second at cost (about a tenth of a cent per dictation, top-ups from US$5 that never expire), so there's no monthly plan; you can also bring your own OpenAI key. The clean-up step keeps your words and falls back to the raw text if it would drop a "not" or a number. Also includes a window dimmer, clipboard history and meeting alerts. macOS 13+, Apple silicon and Intel.
