Read the originalRead on October 23, 2026
- What it is
- The README of the public GitHub repository for AriaType, which the maker's website links to as its source code. It describes the app's dictation at the cursor, its AI polish, its dictionary and hotwords, its default privacy behavior and its optional cloud providers.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own repository, read on 2026-10-23 from the rendered page at the repository address. It states intended features and says the Windows version is still in progress, so features may differ by platform. It is the maker's own statement, not an independent test.
