Research direction

Start by reading the app’s AI Enhancement section and compare the proposed workflow with Yap’s on-device transcript clean-up. Identify how the built-in macOS model could be offered as an option without downloading a separate model. Done means users can choose on-device cleanup as a fast, privacy-friendly alternative; the issue does not name files or tests, so locate those before estimating the implementation.

Description

enhancement keep-open
Problem

I’d love it if you could add an option in the AI Enhancement section for using the on-device macOS LLM.

I’ve been testing Yap (https://github.com/FrigadeHQ/yap), which is very fast because it relies entirely on on-device models. However, it doesn’t offer other models such as Parakeet v3, which is significantly better than SpeechAnalyzer in my experience.

One particularly nice feature of Yap is transcript clean-up using the embedded macOS models. It requires no additional download, which is a big advantage compared with downloading (end executing) the 3.77 GB fluid-1 model, and it works quite well in the end.

Proposed solution

Could you please consider adding something similar? An option to use the built-in macOS LLM for transcript clean-up would provide a fast, privacy-friendly alternative without requiring users to download and run a large AI model.

In any case, BIG congratulations on developing this app! I really enjoy using it every day, Keep up the great work, you’re helping so many people type faster and better! :)

Thanks!!!
