In-app dictation

Dictate into the manuscript’s own editor.

Flow inserts text where the cursor sits, without a separate document integration. It handles fillers, repetitions, punctuation, and spoken corrections, letting an author capture a passage or note inside an existing writing workflow.

Desktop sessions can run for up to 20 minutes. Reaching that limit stops recording and transcribes what was captured; the Free plan’s weekly word allowance still applies.

Cleanup control

Control how much the spoken prose changes.

Desktop Auto Cleanup offers None, Light, and Medium. None keeps a raw transcript; Light removes fillers and fixes grammar; Medium can reword for clarity and concision.

That choice is useful for authors whose sentence rhythm matters: a note can receive cleanup while a deliberately spoken line can keep its original wording for manual editing. The chosen level applies across apps on desktop.

Desktop Transforms

Revise selected text with visible changes.

Desktop Transforms, currently Beta, rewrites 1–1,000 words in supported fields. Polish has adjustable cleanup rules, and custom transforms can carry their own instructions and writing samples.

View Diff compares the result with the original, with retry and undo available. These are separate revision passes after dictation, giving the author a chance to assess what changed before continuing with the text.

Vocabulary, notes, and platform boundaries

Keep book names and repeated text ready.: The dictionary stores names, terminology, and persistent spelling corrections, with words synced across signed-in devices. Snippets insert saved text when a distinctive spoken trigger is recognized.
Set formatting for the destination.: Styles control capitalization and punctuation, with app-category choices on desktop and a different iPhone layout. The documented style formatting is English-only; it is a presentation preference rather than a guarantee of literary voice.
Catch draft fragments in Scratchpad.: The desktop Notes workspace provides a tabbed rich-text editor for typed or dictated drafts and reference images. Notes can be pinned, searched, and restored from earlier versions, then synced across signed-in devices.
Use spoken editing or recorded conversations.: Paid or eligible trial accounts can enable desktop Command Mode for voice instructions on existing text. The companion Notetaker records desktop conversations into speaker-labelled transcripts and topic summaries, with separate plan limits.
Choose data controls for each workflow.: Dictation is processed in the cloud. Model improvement and Dictation Cloud Storage are independent settings, and storing Scratchpad notes or Notetaker transcripts follows separate rules. Free and Pro users can turn model improvement off.
