Questions.
Is my voice uploaded anywhere?
No. Speech is turned into text on your Mac. Only the text of your request is used to do the task.
Which apps does it work with?
Most Mac apps with standard controls, like Mail, Messages, Finder, Spotify and System Settings, plus websites in Google Chrome. Apps that work well with screen readers work best. See what works in each app.
What if it gets something wrong?
It checks after every action and tells you when something is unconfirmed. You can press Stop at any time, and anything that sends, deletes, buys or posts waits for your yes. Like any AI, it can make mistakes, so check what matters.
Can it see my screen?
Only one app window, and only when a step needs it. Never your whole screen, and never password, banking or wallet apps.
How much does it cost?
Dictation is free. Octaflow Pro, for asking Octaflow to do things, is $12 a month, or $99 a year, tax included. See pricing.
