Second opinion on unsure wordsBeta
Second opinion on unsure words is an experimental setting in Speechy for Mac. When the Parakeet voice model isn't sure about a word, Speechy also runs the clip through Apple Speech on your Mac and keeps the result that is clearly more confident. Turn it on in Settings, Audio.

Questions
No. Apple Speech also runs on your Mac.
It needs a Parakeet voice model and on-device Apple Speech, which you enable in Settings, Permissions. Your choice is saved until both are ready.
Only clips with an unsure word get the extra pass. Everything else is typed as usual.
