App-aware formatting
App-aware formatting makes Speechy's Smart Polish write for the app you're dictating into on your Mac. In code editors and terminals, spoken file names and commands become code; in chat apps your casual tone stays; in email you get full sentences and paragraphs; in notes apps lists become dash lists. It's on by default in Settings, Personalize, and needs Smart Polish.

Questions
Code editors and terminals like VS Code, Cursor, Xcode, Terminal, iTerm, Warp and Zed; chat apps like Slack, Discord, Messages, WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal; email like Mail, Outlook, Spark and Superhuman; and notes like Obsidian, Notion, Apple Notes and Bear.
No. The app's name and window title only go into the writing model on your Mac.
They get Speechy's usual cleanup, without app rules.
App aware, in Settings, Dictation, is a separate beta setting that looks at your screen and uses Speechy's server. App-aware formatting stays on your Mac.
