Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Press Escape — or click the × on the listening popover — to cancel a dictation without transcribing. Fixed a stuck-recording issue when holding Fn together with other modifier keys (e.g. Fn+Ctrl+arrow for window snapping). Wavetype now detects mid-shortcut conflicts and quietly aborts. Localized App Store screenshots in 14 languages.
