What you get

  • Title — auto-generated if post-processing title extraction is on.
  • Text — the final transcription (raw or post-processed).
  • Source app — which app you were dictating into.
  • Duration — how long you recorded.
  • Attachments — screenshots, drawings, or quoted text attached to the session.

Search

Use the search field at the top to find a dictation by its text. The sidebar also groups entries by the app you were using — click an app to filter.

Re-using a dictation

Each row has a Copy button to put the text back on your clipboard.

Opening a dictation

Double-click any row to open the full detail view. Screenshots and drawings from the session appear inline, exactly where you captured them in the flow of the transcription. The toolbar has a Copy and Share button for the whole thing.
