VoxPalm README (English), Sorasukiawa/VoxPalm on GitHub

- What it is
- The English README in the maker's own GitHub repository for VoxPalm, a macOS menu bar app that turns a remote or wireless mic button into a push-to-talk key. It states how speech is transcribed, the free version's limits, and where the text is inserted.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by the maker in its own repository, so it gives the maker's own claims. The app is in public beta and not notarized by Apple, and the README marks several devices as pending hardware tests. The repository's default README.md is in Chinese; the facts quote the English README.en.md. It says nothing about offline use, custom vocabulary, AI rewriting or training, so no rows are taken for those.
