Only my voice

Only my voice teaches Speechy what you sound like, then leaves out words other people said, like a colleague behind you or the TV. Set it up in Settings, Dictation, Your voice by reading one sentence aloud for about ten seconds. Your voiceprint stays on your Mac and keeps learning as you dictate.
