@kenyarmosh Yes, you can add your own dictionary. There is not yet a .csv import, but I made sure it is quick to add new words!
It does not learn yet, but it is a high-priority feature I am going to work on. So keep a look out for that!
Feel free to reach out with any feedback and questions!

@kenyarmosh Looking forward to your feedback!
I will take a closer look at a css import and export, to make switching easier.

Congratulations to the Dictly team on the launch!
The idea of 100% on-device dictation that works across any Mac app, stays offline and gives styling/workflow-customization options is super compelling. I’ve tried switching between voice-to-text tools and I always end up frustrated with lag, cloud-dependency or losing my formatting.
@chrishicken Thank you so much! Would love your feedback, if you have time to try it out!
Really cool product! I’ve been diving deep into building more apps focused on private and local AI myself, so this definitely caught my attention.
Curious though, what kind of model are you using under the hood? And do you have any plans to make it customizable, like letting users swap in different open-source transcription models?

Love seeing private, on-device dictation done right. 1.2 looks solid - faster, smarter, and context aware. Quick Capture knowing the app, metadata chips, and Per-App Profiles all sound super useful. Custom Workflows for notes, emails, and code is brilliant. Congrats!
@alexcloudstar Thank you so much!
Trying it out now on mobile and it's super impressive! One thing I noticed was that there is isn't an easy way to send to my other apps. Love doing walk and thinks and then send that off to either Obsidian or Craft. Within the pro version is there a way to format the notes with Markdown pre-export?
@jannik_jung That is awesome and the last thing, are you going to support mobile screen lock recording? Right now when I'm recording and lock the screen it stops entirely.
