Playground

Try different models, tones, and cleanup settings. Compare the original and result side by side, then save the settings you like.

Review before pasting

Edit the result and compare it with the original before pasting. You can also skip cleanup with Use Original Now.

History and statistics

Opt in to keep your last 100 transcripts for search, copying, and review. Track word count, speaking time, and pace separately, without saving transcripts.

Optional settings sync

Sync vocabulary, corrections, styles, and snippets through iCloud. Recordings, transcripts, and statistics stay on your Mac.

Cleanup and tone changes require Apple Intelligence. Vocabulary and shortcuts work with every speech model. Model and language downloads need an internet connection.
