Discard shortcut
Press ⌘Esc while you dictate and Speechy pauses and asks if you want to discard the words so far. Press ⌘Esc again to throw them away, or press Esc or Return to keep recording. On your Mac the shortcut only belongs to Speechy while a dictation is running, so other apps keep it the rest of the time.
