Getting started
From download to your first dictated sentence in a few minutes.
1. Install and give permission
Open SayFeather after installing. On a Mac it asks for two permissions, and it needs both:
2. Download the speech model
SayFeather downloads its speech model once. After that, recognising your voice needs no internet connection.
3. Dictate your first sentence
Click in any text field. Hold the dictation key, say a sentence, and let go. A small dark pill shows what SayFeather is doing:
Prefer not to hold a key? In Settings, General you can switch to tapping once to start and once to stop, and pick a different key. On a Mac the fn key works too.
4. Optional: clean text
With a licence, an AI provider of your choice tidies each dictation. Enter your licence key under Settings, Account, then choose a provider and paste its key.
If the provider cannot be reached, SayFeather inserts the text as heard and the pill tells you why. You never lose a dictation.
