AirNote types into the active app, keeps the small status pill visible, and gives you focused shortcuts for dictation, message polish, and HUD placement.
Use the toggle to check the shortcut names for your keyboard. Windows currently supports the core hold-to-record path; the extra global shortcuts are macOS-only in this release.
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Fn hold | Record while held. Release to process and type the final output into the active app. |
| FnSpace | Long dictation lock. Start recording, lock it, then press Fn again to finish. |
| ⇧⌘Space | Toggle Polish Mode for voice dictation. When on, AirNote waits and pastes the polished message once. |
| ⌥1 | Polish selected message. Select text in any app, press left Option + 1, and AirNote replaces only that selection with polished English. |
| ⌥2 | Selected-text English conversion/cleanup shortcut. |
| ⌥5 | Selected-text Hinglish shortcut. |
| ⌃⌘V | Paste the last AirNote output again if the target app rejected the first paste. |
| ⌘⌥R | Retry the last dictation. First press re-pastes the last output; press again quickly to reprocess the last recording when audio is available. |
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Caps Lock hold | Record while held. Release to process and type the final output into the active app. |
| Right Alt hold | Optional record key if you choose Right Alt in Settings. The Fn key is not available as a Windows global modifier. |
| Caps LockSpace | Long dictation lock. Start recording, lock it, then press Caps Lock again to finish. |
| CtrlShiftSpace | Toggle Polish Mode for voice dictation. When on, AirNote waits and pastes the polished message once. |
| Alt1 | Polish selected message. Select text in any app, press left Alt + 1, and AirNote replaces only that selection with polished English. |
| Alt2 | Selected-text English conversion/cleanup shortcut. |
| Alt5 | Selected-text Hinglish shortcut. |
| CtrlLeft AltV | Paste the last AirNote output again if the target app rejected the first paste. Right Alt is intentionally avoided for AltGr keyboards. |
| CtrlLeft AltR | Retry the last dictation. First press re-pastes the last output; press again quickly to reprocess the last recording when audio is available. Right Alt is intentionally avoided for AltGr keyboards. |
Rule of thumb: normal dictation is fast and direct. Polish Mode is for messages that should sound professional, so it intentionally waits for the final polished version and pastes once.
Turn on Polish Mode with ⇧⌘Space on macOS. The Windows global shortcut is not wired in this release.
Speak normally with your record key: Fn on macOS by default, or Caps Lock on Windows by default.
The target app receives only the final polished message. No draft text is streamed into the field.
Make the status pill movable on macOS with ⇧⌘/. The Windows HUD placement shortcut is not wired in this release.
Drag the pill anywhere that feels comfortable for your screen.
Reset it to center on macOS with ⇧⌘..
Select the rough message in Slack, WhatsApp, Gmail, Chrome, Notes, or any editable app.
Press ⌥1 on macOS. The Windows Alt + 1 selected-text shortcut is not wired in this release.
AirNote replaces only the selected text. It should not hit Enter or send the message.
Polish Mode improves language and structure, but it should preserve names, numbers, rates, dates, legal/commercial facts, questions, and intent.
Open AirNote and click Report bug in the sidebar.
AirNote opens the control-plane bug form with a secure report token plus app version, platform, and device details.
Describe what happened. Attach a screenshot if it helps. The report appears in the admin Bugs page for the team.

Short titleEdit a proper noun, brand, acronym, or code word after dictation. AirNote learns that correction on your machine.
Enterprise users can receive approved company-wide words on day one, without rebuilding personal vocabulary from scratch.
Common Hindi, Hinglish, and English words should not become aliases for company terms.
| System | What AirNote needs |
|---|---|
| macOS | Accessibility to type or replace text, Input Monitoring to detect global shortcuts like Fn / Option + 1 / Shift + Command + Space, and Microphone to record your voice. |
| Windows | Microphone for dictation. AirNote uses the Windows keyboard hook for global shortcuts and SendInput for typing, so there is no macOS-style Accessibility or Input Monitoring grant. |
