- •On-device LLM cleanup removes filler words without sending audio to the cloud.
- •Transforms menu lets you rewrite or translate any text instantly via hotkey.
Weaknesses
- •Mac-only app limits reach compared to cross-platform SaaS competitors like Otter.
- •$3/month subscription adds up quickly against free built-in macOS dictation features now.
