- What it is
- The home page of TongueType, a macOS voice dictation app that runs Whisper on the Mac. It covers offline use, insertion at the cursor, the free tier (30 minutes of live dictation a month) and spoken cancel and symbol cues.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own home page, read from its HTML. Its llms.txt file says TongueType does not do voice commands the way Dragon did, while this page describes spoken cancel and symbol cues; both are the maker's own words, and the voice-commands row rests on this page.
