- Dictation into any app. Hold a hotkey, speak, release. Text lands at your cursor.
- Your choice of model. Whisper, Parakeet, Moonshine, Canary, Dolphin, Nemotron, and Srota (Hinglish). Download the ones you want, each tagged by size and quality.
- Hinglish. Hindi comes out in English letters ("ab isko badalne ke liye"), the way people actually type it. Toggleable.
- Spoken commands. "next line", "new paragraph", "point one" for numbered lists, "bullet" for dashes, "scratch that" to undo a line.
- AI cleanup and summary. Optional on-device Gemma model polishes the transcript. Also fully local.
- Light on memory. Models load on demand and unload after 5 minutes idle.
