Choose local speech

In your active profile, select Parakeet, Whisper, or Cohere Transcribe and a supported language. Wait for the model to download and load.
2

Choose optional cleanup

Leave Polish off if you only need transcription, filler removal, and replacements. If you want Polish, select Local in Text cleanup and prepare its model.

Set up Notetaker

Choose On-device insights in Settings → Notetaker or the session’s Insights model menu. Allow the separate insight and speaker models to prepare before relying on them. Turning automatic insights off is separate: Generate insights still uses the selected provider.

Check the active configuration

Profiles can change speech and cleanup choices. Test a short dictation or meeting and inspect its status. Confirm all needed downloads are complete before going offline.
Local inference does not mean the app never connects to the network. Downloads, calendar access, optional services, and Trial and paid-license verification are separate. Read Privacy and data flow and Release and access. Personal notes and preparation questions guide insights and refinement and are included in those requests. Choose On-device to keep that processing local, including for Google-linked sessions. Choose local speech as well to process recorded audio on your Mac. Switching back from cloud processing or removing notes does not recall earlier transfers or sign out the provider.
