Context Awareness

Context awareness helps OpenTypeless adapt polished voice writing to the app you are using without turning app detection into analytics or a cloud catalog of raw signals.

What Context Adaptation Does

OpenTypeless identifies the broad app context locally, then maps it to a reviewed writing profile and app family.
The profile tells AI polish whether the output should feel like a chat reply, issue update, email, document paragraph, note, or code-adjacent comment.
The app family gives the model a small amount of metadata such as communication, productivity, docs, project, browser, terminal, or General.
Unknown apps and unsupported contexts fall back to General, so dictation still works without app-specific assumptions.

AI Polish Dependency

⚠️

Context awareness only changes output when AI polish is enabled. If AI polish is off, OpenTypeless inserts the speech-to-text result without asking an LLM to adapt tone or structure. If a context cannot be classified confidently, the General fallback is used.

Local Classifier Boundary

The classifier runs on the device and uses local app identity signals only to choose a writing profile. Raw app signals, page content, dictated text, and selected text do not enter analytics or the marketing catalog. The website lists reviewed profiles and families, not private local signals.

Profile and Family Metadata

A mapped profile is a compact instruction layer: for example, chat apps favor concise replies, docs favor cleaner paragraph flow, and project tools favor status or action language. The family label is deliberately broad. It helps AI polish choose placement and tone while avoiding claims that OpenTypeless has an official integration with that app.

Dictated Text and Selected Text

Dictated text is what you speak during the current capture. Selected text is the text you explicitly highlight before using a voice action such as Rewrite Selection, Translate, Ask, or Search. Provider behavior is bound to that action: dictation polish can use the dictated text and context profile, while selection actions can include the selected text because you chose that target.

Facts Stay Yours

💡

Context adaptation should change style, format, and placement, not invent facts. Names, numbers, dates, quotes, links, and task details from your dictated text or selected text should be preserved. If a result changes a fact, edit it before sending and consider using a more explicit voice action.

Limitations and Voice Actions

Where do voice actions fit?

Voice actions sit above context awareness. Draft uses the current app profile for a new message or paragraph; Rewrite Selection, Translate, Ask, and Search use the selected text when your provider configuration allows it.

Does context awareness read the whole page?

No. The classifier boundary is intentionally narrow. It maps local app context to reviewed profile and family metadata instead of sending page content or raw app signals to analytics.

Why does an app sometimes use General?

General is the safe fallback for unknown apps, ambiguous local signals, disabled AI polish, or profiles that have not been reviewed yet.

What are the main limitations?

Context awareness cannot guarantee perfect tone, cannot verify facts, cannot bypass provider privacy rules, and cannot provide app-specific behavior when the app is unknown or AI polish is disabled.
