Works wherever you type
AirNote types where your cursor is, so there is nothing to connect. A chat, an email, an issue or a prompt all take dictation the same way.
How it works
Hold Fn, or any key you choose, and talk. Let go, and it is typed. A small pill on screen shows that AirNote is listening.
Talk the way you talk: English, Hindi, or both in one sentence. Clario C1 turns your speech into text on the Mac itself.
If you want it, AirNote fixes the punctuation, drops the filler words and spells your Dictionary words your way, before a single word is typed.
The text is typed where your cursor is, in whatever app you are in, and the pill confirms it. Every dictation is kept in your History.
Built for Hinglish
Say half a sentence in Hindi and the rest in English. AirNote types it the way you would type it yourself: Hinglish in Roman letters, with the English words left in English.
Polish
Polish fixes the punctuation, drops the filler words and spells your Dictionary words your way. Switch it off, and AirNote types exactly what you said.
The switch is the app's own setting. Try it, and the example follows.
Polish is on when you want clean text, and off when you want your exact words. One switch in Settings.

Dictionary
Add the names, brands and terms you use. Correct one after it is typed and AirNote adds it for you, and tells you it did.
Your Dictionary
What AirNote hears, and how it is written. Demo data.
A small note on the pill confirms each word it adds. Undo is one click.
Type what AirNote hears and how to write it, or just the word.
Fix a name after it is typed, and AirNote adds the fix to your Dictionary.
From then on, polish writes it your way. With polish off, the list waits.

English, Hindi and Hinglish, the mix of the two in one sentence. Hinglish is typed in Roman script, the way you would type it yourself.
Names, brands and terms that should be spelled your way. Polish uses it: when a dictation contains a word as AirNote hears it, polish writes it the way you added it. With polish off, the Dictionary is not used.
Any app where you can type. AirNote types where your cursor is, once macOS has given it the Microphone, Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions. The guide shows how.
