FAQ
What is AI text polishing?
AI text polishing cleans up dictated speech by fixing grammar, removing filler words, and improving structure. When optional app-aware formatting is enabled, it can also shape the final text for email, chat, documents, or technical work.
Choose Your Voice Workflow
Start with dictation, use Ask Anything for one-off answers, then tune providers and shortcuts as your workflow grows.
What is Ask Anything?

Voice prompts for ChatGPT
Dictate longer prompts, clean them up, and decide when to insert text or ask the model directly.
Voice input for Cursor
Speak coding prompts, bug context, PR notes, and quick developer questions across desktop apps.
Cloud words and BYOK
