Dashboard

The Dashboard gives you an at-a-glance summary of your dictation activity. It combines the upstream usage tiles with Linux-specific additions that surface how reliably your text is landing and how your individual dictations break down.

The Dashboard showing the Words, WPM, Apps, and Time-saved tiles

Time range

A Weekly / Month / All Time selector at the top scopes every tile on the page. Weekly counts the last 7 days, Month the last 30, and All Time the full history. Your choice is remembered between sessions.

Headline tiles

A row of four headline tiles sits below the selector:

Tile What it means
Words Raw total word count across the selected period.
Ø WPM Your dictation throughput — words produced per minute of speaking, over the period.
Apps The number of distinct applications you dictated into.
Saved Estimated time saved versus typing the same text by hand.

Time saved is the estimated manual-typing time at 40 WPM minus the time you actually spent speaking, floored at 0.

Insights, insertion reliability, top apps, and writing-assist counters

Insights

Below the headline tiles, the Insights panel breaks each dictation down further:

  • Avg words / dictation — the mean word count per dictation.
  • Avg duration — the mean length of a single dictation.

Insertion reliability

Because Linux insertion depends on the active session and tooling (see Text insertion and Wayland notes), this group helps you spot when text is failing to land. The headline Inserted percentage is the success rate:

(pasted + typed) ÷ (pasted + typed + clipboard-fallback + failed) × 100

Four sub-metrics sit alongside it:

Metric What it means
Inserted Success rate (above) as a percentage.
Clipboard fallback Count of times text was left on the clipboard instead of inserted.
Pasted / typed Breakdown of successful insertions by strategy.
Failed Count of insertions that failed outright.

Writing assists

A set of counters tallies how often each post-processing feature ran in the period:

Counter Counts
Cleanups Transcripts that had a cleanup pass applied.
Snippets Transcripts where a snippet expanded.
Corrections Transcripts where a dictionary correction applied.
Prompt actions Transcripts where a prompt action ran.
Translations Transcripts that were translated.

Top apps

The applications you dictate into most often, each with its dictation and word counts. Pairs well with Profiles and per-app Text insertion strategies.

Activity

A list of your most recent transcriptions in the period, each showing a preview, the time, and the target app.

Open Wizard

A card at the bottom re-runs the Setup Wizard to reconfigure your model, microphone, and hotkeys.
