— 01 · how it works

Hold. Speak. Release.

One key chord, no window to open, no button to find. Let go and the words are already there.

1 · Hold

Press and hold Control + Option in any app. The pill appears at the bottom of your screen.

2 · Speak

Say what you mean. With streaming on, finished sentences are transcribed while you're still talking.

“…and send it to the team”
3 · Release

Let go. The text lands at your cursor — your clipboard is restored right after.

History — every dictation is kept locally; copy it again or delete it.

Languages — English, German, or let it detect.

Sounds — a quiet cue on start, stop and insert, so you never have to look.

The small things that add up.

What you notice on the second day, not the first: mumble keeps up with you instead of asking you to wait.

Keep talking.

Release, speak again, release. Each dictation is transcribed in the background and inserted in the order you spoke it — never out of turn.

Say it, send it.

Tap ⌃Ctrl while mumble is still transcribing. When the text lands, Return comes with it — sent before your hands are back on the keys.
