Riff is a Mac app for two things you do with your voice. Hold fn to dictate into any app, and let Riff take notes when a call starts. Dictations and meetings share one library, one dictionary, and one search on your Mac.
Riff lives in the menu bar and has no window until you open one. While you dictate, a small island under the menu bar shows what Riff hears. The library window holds your notes, your dictations, and the dictionary, and Riff shows in the Dock while it is open.
After a call, Riff writes the full notes around what you typed. Your words stay as you wrote them, and transcript links help you check Riff’s additions.
Learn more about Notes written around yours, with citationsChoose how much Riff edits your dictation, from Polished to verbatim, and how it writes in messages, email, documents, and code.
Learn more about Dictation cleanup and styles by appTeach Riff the names and terms you use, replace what it hears with what you want written, and turn a spoken phrase into saved text.
