## How does dictation work on Mac?

Set a global hotkey, press it from the active app, and speak. Talkie transcribes on the Mac and returns the text to the active app.

## What happens after dictation?

Talkie keeps the capture in a local library. Search, workflows, and the Talkie CLI can use the stored transcript later.
