Screen-aware writingBeta
With App aware on, Speechy takes one screenshot of the window you're dictating into on your Mac and writes your words for it: an email reply that fits the thread, a Slack message in the channel's tone. Say “reply saying Friday works” and it drafts the whole reply. It's off by default in Settings, Dictation, and the screenshot is never saved.
How to use Screen-aware writing
Check App Context
App Context in Settings, Personalize must be on. It is by default.
Turn on App aware
In Settings, Dictation, Screen context, and allow Screen Recording.
Say your reply
Say it as you'd write it, or “reply saying…” and the gist.
It fits the window
The reply is written for the thread you're in.
What you say, what it writes
Gmail

“reply saying friday at ten works and i'll send the mockups tonight”

Hi Sam, Friday at 10 works. I'll send the mockups tonight. Thanks, Jay

You say
“tell him i'm in for thursday”

Questions
One screenshot of the window and your cleaned up words go to Speechy's server, which passes them to a writing model. Nothing is stored, and every request asks that it's never used for training.
Apps you exclude in App Context and password fields.
Speechy falls back to its usual cleanup on your Mac, so your words are still typed.
No. It writes what you said, or the message you asked for, and never answers questions.
