Dictation hints
Dictation hints help you remember to talk instead of type. When you've typed in another app for about ten seconds, Speechy shows a small pill on your Mac that says “Press Fn to Dictate”, with your own shortcut. It shows at most once every four hours and stops for good after you've dictated 10,000 words.
