- What it is
- The home page and FAQ of Sotto, a dictation app for macOS. The page says the default Whisper and Parakeet models run on the Mac with no internet connection after a one-time download, that transcripts paste into any app, that AI can process dictation before pasting, and that a custom vocabulary dictionary is available.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by the maker about its own app, so it states what the app does, not how accurate it is. Marketing copy, checked against the maker's privacy policy. Features can change with updates.
