What to expect from an ideal product

1. Dictly runs fully on-device, so your words never touch a server and nothing slows down mid-sentence.
2. One hotkey triggers voice input anywhere your cursor sits, inside Notion, VS Code, Gmail, or any other Mac app.
3. Text lands in roughly 200 ms, formatted and ready, no cleanup pass needed before you hit send or save.
4. You can set pipeline rules to auto-format code blocks, fix tone, apply regex patterns, or structure bullet lists as you speak.
5. No subscription to a cloud API means no usage limits cutting you off when you hit a long dictation session.
