Getting started

Make your first dictation

Place the cursor where you want text, trigger Amnis, speak, and stop.

Updated Mar 19, 2026

Before you start

  • Put the cursor in the app where text should land.
  • Check that your microphone is active.
  • Know whether your shortcut is hold-to-talk or toggle.

Dictate

  • Start recording with your shortcut.
  • Speak naturally.
  • Stop when you are done.

What happens next

Amnis sends text into the active app when the app and permissions allow it.

If direct paste is blocked, the text stays safe on the clipboard so you can paste it yourself.
