About
Apple Dictation is a built-in macOS feature that lets users speak to enter text anywhere they can type. Once Dictation is enabled, it can be started with the Microphone key, a customizable keyboard shortcut, or Start Dictation, then stopped with Escape, the same shortcut, or the Microphone key. On Apple silicon Macs, users can continue typing while they dictate, and Dictation resumes listening after keyboard input stops. Spoken commands can insert emoji, punctuation, new lines, and new paragraphs, while supported languages can automatically add commas, periods, and question marks. Dictation supports text of any length and stops automatically after 30 seconds without detected speech. When macOS is uncertain about a word, it underlines the text so users can choose an alternative or correct it manually. Multiple Dictation languages can be enabled and switched while speaking, and users can select a preferred microphone or let macOS choose automatically.

About
Snapdown turns anything on your screen into clean, structured Markdown. Press one shortcut, select a region, and the result is placed on your clipboard, with fast, private processing that runs entirely on your Mac. Unlike basic OCR that produces a wall of text, it is designed to preserve useful structure, including headings, lists, paragraphs, reading order, and tables. Recognition runs locally on Apple silicon, so captures never need to leave your device, no cloud account is required, and the app can work offline. Aggregate Mode lets you collect multiple captures, such as an error, its settings, and the expected result, and append them to the same Markdown document without interrupting your workflow. Built as a native macOS app, it uses familiar controls and shortcuts, provides menu bar access, adapts to system appearance, and saves normal Markdown and text files that can be opened anywhere without a proprietary workspace.
