FAQ

Find answers to common questions

Which speech recognition services are supported?

Supports local SenseVoice (free), OpenAI Whisper, and SiliconFlow. Local mode is completely free and data never leaves your device. API mode supports your own API key.

Is my audio privacy secure?

In local SenseVoice mode, audio is processed entirely on your device with no data uploaded. In API mode, audio is sent to the corresponding API provider—please review their privacy policies.

Which languages are supported?

Supports 31 languages including Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese), English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, and more. Specially optimized for mixed Chinese-English input accuracy.

What are the minimum system requirements?

macOS 14.6 or later. Apple Silicon chips (M1/M2/M3) are recommended for best performance, but Intel Macs work fine too.

How do I use a custom API key?

In settings, select "BYOK" mode and enter your OpenAI or SiliconFlow API key. We securely store your key and only use it to call the API service.

Can I use it offline?

Using local SenseVoice mode, you can use it completely offline. First use requires downloading model files (~1GB), after which no network connection is needed.

What if my hotkey conflicts?

You can customize the global hotkey in settings, supporting single keys or combinations. Choose a key that's unused but convenient.

What's the difference between Pro and AI Plus?

Pro is a one-time purchase unlocking all advanced features. AI Plus is a subscription providing hosted AI polish without configuring your own API key. You can subscribe to both.
