FAQ
What is AI text polishing?
AI text polishing cleans up dictated speech by fixing grammar, removing filler words, and improving structure. When optional app-aware formatting is enabled, it can also shape the final text for email, chat, documents, or technical work.
What local processing routes can I use?
A Custom Whisper-compatible endpoint is the local or self-hosted STT path; whether audio leaves the machine depends on the configured endpoint and network. Ollama is a local LLM provider for text polishing and other LLM work.
Choose Your Voice Workflow

Voice prompts for ChatGPT
Dictate longer prompts, clean them up, and decide when to insert text or ask the model directly.
Voice input for Cursor
Speak coding prompts, bug context, PR notes, and quick developer questions across desktop apps.
Cloud words and BYOK
