Every dictation, kept

Riff keeps every dictation, whether it was pasted into an app or copied to the clipboard. Choose Dictations in the library window’s sidebar to see them, grouped by day.

What each take keeps

Each take shows the app’s icon, the text, the time, and how long you talked. Point to a take to copy it, play its audio, polish it again, or delete it.

Select a take to see the final text, the raw text the recognizer heard, the transcription engine, and the style Riff used. You can edit the final text. When an edit changes words, Riff suggests adding them to the dictionary.

Insights

Above the takes, four numbers sum up your dictation. Riff works them out on your Mac.

From the menu bar

The Riff menu lists your last ten dictations under Recent Dictations, with the start of the text and how long ago you said it. Choose one to copy it again.

Search and audio

The library’s search covers dictations along with your meeting notes and transcripts. Audio is kept for as long as you choose in Settings, as described in Privacy.
