Post-processing with a local model

Post-processing is a second model that rewrites the recognised text to your instruction — remove filler words, make it a business letter, turn it into a list. The instruction is written in ordinary words and is called a prompt. It is off by default, because it is the one step that noticeably slows a dictation down.

SettingWhat it does
Turn on post-processing

The main switch. While it is off the rest of the tab does nothing and the text is inserted as recognised.

Model · Local

An editor that runs on your own computer. Nothing leaves the machine, but such models weigh a gigabyte and up. The catalogue next to it downloads one in a click.

Model · External server

The text goes to a service you name — OpenAI, Groq, your own server. Faster and cleverer, but the text leaves the computer. The key is stored encrypted, and a test button checks the address before you rely on it.

Prompts

Your instructions to the editor. The ticked ones run in order, top to bottom. Each has a name, the instruction itself, an optional shortcut of its own, and a field to try a phrase without dictating anything.

Audio never goes to an external server — only the recognised text. But it does go, so switch it on deliberately.
