Wisp puts your words into the editor or terminal you already use. Apps: Cursor · VS Code · Terminal · ChatGPT · Claude. ## Context is easier to say out loud. Walk through the behavior you saw, the behavior you expected, and the edge cases. Each pause sends a sentence to the prompt. Wisp enters text; you decide when to send it. ## Developer terms, without the spelling detour. Built-in vocabulary covers more than 270 technical names and acronyms, including GitHub, TypeScript, Next.js, OAuth, and CI/CD. Add project-specific terms to your own dictionary. ## Keep control of the final prompt. Use review-first mode to inspect text before insertion, or copy-only mode when you want to place it yourself. Optional per-app formatting can keep terminal commands lowercase. ## Does Wisp read my repository? The optional Names on screen setting reads visible names in supported editors and terminals through Accessibility. It does not index your entire repository. The processing stays on your Mac.

Say it into your writing app and shape it from there. Apps: Apple Notes · Pages · Ulysses · Bear · Word. ## Draft in the place you already write. Put the cursor in a document, press the shortcut, and speak. In hands-free mode, Wisp inserts each sentence when you pause and keeps listening for the next one. ## Choose how much cleanup you want. None keeps the recognized wording. Standard removes hesitation sounds and stutters and formats supported numbers and times. Smart adds on-device help with self-corrections when Apple Intelligence is available. ## Make your vocabulary familiar. Character names, publication names, and specialist terms belong in your dictionary. Save a recurring introduction or sign-off as a snippet and insert it with its own short spoken trigger. ## Will Wisp rewrite my voice? Standard cleanup uses rules for fillers, stutters, and formatting. Smart cleanup can resolve self-corrections with on-device AI. Rewriting selected text is a separate command-mode action that you review.

Wisp handles the words where the work is already happening. Apps: Mail · Slack · Notion · Messages · Calendar. ## Answer while the context is fresh. Dictate a project update in Slack or a detailed reply in Mail. Wisp works with text fields that accept pasted text, so there is no separate document to shuttle between apps. ## Leave the meeting with a useful draft. Notetaker captures your microphone and system audio. With Apple Intelligence available, it turns the transcript into a summary, decisions, and action items for you to check. ## Keep your own record. Review and edit the draft before saving it to Apple Notes. Calendar access is optional and can help name a note from the event happening now. Notes follow the sync settings you already chose in Apple Notes. ## Is there a team dashboard? Wisp is a local Mac app with a license per Mac. There is no shared workspace, seat administration, or centralized transcript library. Contact us if you have purchasing questions for several Macs.

Wisp records both sides on your Mac and gives you a transcript and a draft to review. Apps: Zoom · Google Meet · Teams · FaceTime. ## Start from the launcher. Click the Notetaker control or use Control–Option–P. Grant microphone and system audio permissions so Wisp can hear your side and the sound from the call. ## Review the useful parts. The live transcript works without Apple Intelligence. When its on-device model is available, Wisp also drafts summaries, decisions, and action items. Verify names, dates, and commitments against the conversation. ## Save when you are ready. Edit the draft, then choose Save to Notes. You can include the transcript and an optional recording. Existing recordings can also be imported; a mixed recording is not automatically split by speaker. ## Does a bot join the call? No. Wisp captures the microphone and audio playing on your Mac. It does not join as a participant. Tell everyone you are recording and get their consent before starting.

Talk through an outline, capture your own voice memo, or turn a permitted recording into a transcript you can work from. Apps: Pages · Word · Apple Notes · browser text fields. ## Explain the argument before polishing it. Dictate an outline into your document while the thought is clear. Keep going across natural pauses, then return to the text to add evidence, references, and structure. ## Work from recordings you already have. Import an audio or video file from the Notetaker. Wisp reads its audio locally and prepares a transcript. Notes generation depends on Apple Intelligence being available. ## Keep research in your own workspace. Save a reviewed draft to Apple Notes or copy text into your research tools. Your Notes account may sync through iCloud; choose the destination that fits your work. ## Can I use Wisp for lecture recordings? You can import supported audio and video recordings you have permission to use. Wisp transcribes on your Mac. Check specialist terms and quotations yourself; it does not verify facts or create citations.

Start a dictation, speak naturally, and let each pause place the next sentence. Apps: Email · documents · chats · notes. ## Tap once and keep talking. Tap Control–Option–O for hands-free dictation. Pause to insert a sentence, then continue. Press the shortcut again to finish; twenty seconds of silence also ends the session. ## Set a pace that fits you. Choose a pause length from one to four seconds. If you prefer shorter bursts, hold the shortcut and release it to insert. The notch shows the words as they arrive. ## Look before the text lands. Review-first mode lets you check one dictation at a time. Copy-only mode gives you text without automatic insertion. If Wisp cannot insert a sentence, it keeps it available to copy. ## Can I control my entire Mac with Wisp? Wisp handles text entry, dictation actions, and notes. It does not provide full voice navigation of macOS. Starting a session still uses a shortcut or a click on the launcher.

HTML at the source URL is the canonical page. # Your first five minutes with Wisp. Check your Mac, allow the permissions you need, and put your first sentence into a text field. ## Check your Mac first Wisp needs an Apple silicon Mac (M1 or later) running macOS 26 or later. It is currently in early access; the website waitlist is the way to hear when the download is ready. The trial will include all features. ## Let Wisp hear you On first use, allow Microphone access. macOS may need an internet connection to download its speech assets. Choose the input you intend to use in Wisp’s microphone picker and speak a short test sentence. ## Allow text insertion Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and enable Wisp. This lets it insert text into other apps. Copy-only mode works without automatic insertion. ## Try one sentence Click in an empty note, tap Control–Option–O, and say a sentence. Pause for it to appear. Press the shortcut again to finish. You can also hold the shortcut, speak, and release it to insert. ## Add notes when you need them Notetaker uses microphone and system audio permissions. Saving to Apple Notes also asks for Automation access. Summaries require Apple Intelligence to be enabled and available; transcription works without it. ## Related guides - [Find your way to talk.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/dictation) - [When the words do not land.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/troubleshooting) --- Source: https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/dictation Content coverage: article. HTML at the source URL is the canonical page. # Find your way to talk. Hands-free, hold-to-talk, review-first, and copy-only: choose how your words reach the page. ## Tap to keep a session going The default dictation shortcut is Control–Option–O. Tap it once, then speak. Each pause inserts a finished sentence while Wisp keeps listening. It stops after twenty seconds of silence, or when you press the shortcut again. ## Hold for a short burst Hold the same shortcut while you speak, then release it to insert. This is useful for a quick reply or a search. Change the shortcut in Settings if another combination suits you better. ## Tune the pause The pause length is adjustable from one to four seconds. Use a longer pause if you think between phrases. The notch shows live words and a progress ring as an insertion approaches. ## Review or copy instead Review before inserting waits for you to confirm the text in the notch. Copy-only mode leaves placement to you. These modes handle one dictation at a time instead of continuously inserting sentences. ## Undo and recover Escape discards the sentence in progress. Say “scratch that” on its own to remove the last inserted sentence, when Wisp can confirm it is still the same text. If a field will not accept an insertion, use Copy text in the notch. ## Related guides - [Teach Wisp the words you use.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/dictionary-and-snippets) - [When the words do not land.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/troubleshooting) --- Source: https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/meeting-notes Content coverage: article.

Capture both sides, review the draft, and save the useful parts to Apple Notes. ## Start with everyone’s knowledge Tell participants you plan to record and get their consent before starting. Wisp captures locally, without adding a meeting bot. Its local processing does not replace your responsibility to agree on recording. ## Start from the launcher or shortcut Use the Notetaker launcher control or Control–Option–P. Allow access to the microphone and system audio. The microphone captures you; system audio captures sound playing on the Mac, including the other side of a call. ## Watch the transcript Wisp transcribes while the session runs. Notes use the first speech language you selected. You can enable optional calendar access to help name notes from the event happening now. ## Check the generated draft Apple Intelligence supplies on-device summaries when its model is available for your configuration and language. Check names, numbers, decisions, and who owns each action. If summaries are unavailable, you can still work from the transcript. ## Choose what to save Review and edit the draft, then save to Apple Notes. Attach the recording if you want to keep it with the transcript. Apple Notes may sync the result through iCloud according to your account settings. ## Related guides - [Already have the recording?

Turn an existing audio or video file into a local transcript and a reviewable notes draft. ## Choose a recording Use the recording import control in Notetaker and select a local file. Wisp supports M4A, MP3, WAV, AAC, AIF, AIFF, CAF, FLAC, MP4, M4V, MOV, and 3GP files. For video, only the audio is used. ## Let your Mac do the transcription The file is read on your Mac and is not uploaded or changed. Import uses your first selected speech language. Length, audio quality, language, and your Mac affect the result and processing time. ## Know the speaker limit An imported mixed recording is not automatically separated by speaker. Review who said what using the original audio. Do not treat an action item or quotation as verified just because it appears in a draft. ## Review before saving When Apple Intelligence is available, Wisp can also prepare notes from the transcript. Edit the draft and save to Apple Notes. Large recording attachments may be saved as a compact copy to keep the note manageable. ## Related guides - [From a call to a note you can use.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/meeting-notes) - [Languages, models, and what to expect.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/languages) --- Source: https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/dictionary-and-snippets Content coverage: article.

Use a dictionary for names and terms, and snippets for the whole phrases you repeat. ## Add a name to the Dictionary Open Dictionary and choose Add word. Enter what Wisp hears and what it should write instead. It is useful for people, products, specialist terms, and the names in your own projects. ## Use a snippet for an entire reply Open Snippets and choose Add snippet. Give it a short spoken trigger such as “insert my sign-off”, and save the full text you want. The trigger must match the whole dictation; it does not expand inside an unrelated sentence. ## Choose the right cleanup level None keeps the recognized words. Standard uses local rules for fillers, stutters, and supported formatting. Smart can resolve self-corrections using Apple Intelligence when available. Try a short example before relying on a new setting. ## Keep vocabulary on your Mac Your dictionary and snippets are stored locally alongside Wisp’s history and usage counts. You can remove entries in the app. They do not become a shared team dictionary or sync through a Wisp account. ## Related guides - [Find your way to talk.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/dictation) - [Languages, models, and what to expect.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/languages) --- Source: https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/troubleshooting Content coverage: article.

Check the microphone, permissions, target field, and model before changing your workflow. ## Wisp cannot hear me Check Wisp’s microphone picker, macOS Microphone permission, and the selected device’s input level. Try the built-in microphone to isolate a headset or routing problem. Speak a short sentence in a quiet room. ## Words appear, but are not inserted Check Accessibility access for Wisp in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Click in an ordinary text field that accepts pasted text and retry. Password fields are deliberately skipped. If insertion fails, the notch keeps the text available to copy. ## I switched apps while speaking Wisp avoids inserting the current sentence if its target changes mid-sentence. Finish a sentence before moving to a different app. Recover the text with Copy text rather than repeating an entire passage. ## The shortcut does not start a session Check the configured combination in Settings. A conflicting global shortcut may need a different combination. If you are holding it, release to finish; if you tap, it starts a hands-free session. ## Transcripts work, but summaries do not Meeting summaries and Smart cleanup depend on Apple Intelligence availability and language support. Confirm it is enabled and its model is ready. You can continue using standard cleanup and transcripts without it. ## Still stuck? Email support with your macOS version, Mac model, and the steps that reproduce the issue. Troubleshooting recordings are off by default. Only enable or share recordings if you are comfortable including their contents. ## Related guides - [Your first five minutes with Wisp.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/getting-started) - [Find your way to talk.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/dictation) --- Source: https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/languages Content coverage: article.

Understand speech language selection, offline setup, and the extra requirements for AI summaries. ## Start with the speech engine Wisp exposes the languages available through Apple’s on-device speech engine on macOS 26: 24 languages in 45 regional variants, plus a mixed Indian-language model. Availability can vary with macOS and installed assets. ## Choose up to two for dictation Dictation can use two selected languages and choose the more confident recognition for each sentence. This is speech recognition, not automatic translation. Notetaker and recording imports use the first selected language. ## Check AI features separately Apple Intelligence has its own model and language requirements. A speech language being available does not guarantee Smart cleanup, command-mode rewriting, or generated meeting summaries are available in it. ## Try your real vocabulary English is the language we have evaluated most. Test a short sample with your accent, microphone, and specialist terms. Add names to your dictionary and review important output. We do not promise equal accuracy in every language. ## Set up before going offline macOS may download speech and Apple Intelligence assets during setup. Once the necessary models are installed and available, Wisp processes speech on your Mac without a connection. An optional Accurate dictation model also requires its own initial download. ## Related guides - [Your first five minutes with Wisp.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/getting-started) - [From a call to a note you can use.](https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/guides/meeting-notes) --- Source: https://quietmachines.fyi/wisp/commands Content coverage: reference.
