Before you install

Questions people ask first.

What can I ask it to do?
Say what you want done with the selection, such as making it shorter or turning it into bullets.
What if nothing is selected?
Then your speech is treated as new text: it is cleaned up and pasted at your cursor, like any other take.
Is my selected text stored?
No. The selection passes through our server in memory for a single take and is dropped when the text comes back.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every account gets 60 recorded minutes a month with every feature. No card needed. Past 60 minutes you get a reminder, never a cut-off.
Do you keep my audio or transcripts?
No. Audio and text pass through our server in memory for a single take and are dropped when the text comes back.
How long does setup take?
About a minute: run the installer, sign in from the badge, and press Ctrl+Win in any text field.
