Open the original- What it measures
- The documentation shows this as the output after you run /voice. The dictation language shown is the default, English, and /config changes it.
- What it does not show
- Hold mode depends on key-repeat events from the terminal. Where the terminal does not send them, the documentation recommends tap mode, run as /voice tap.
