Pill styles
Speechy shows a small pill on your Mac while you dictate, and you can pick its style in Settings, General, Appearance, Window Mode. Compact is a small pill with a waveform, Wide shows your words live, Dynamic Island grows out of the notch at the top of your screen, and Ticker is one slim line of your newest words.
