Most dictation controls live on the Voice page. Dictionary terms live on the separate Dictionary page.
Choose and test a microphone
Open Voice → Microphone.
- Select microphone uses a specific input or automatically follows the Mac default.
- Microphone sensitivity boosts quiet input or soft speech.
- Test your microphone shows the current input level with your selected sensitivity.
If a selected microphone is disconnected, mrmr returns to automatic selection.
Choose a polish level
Open Voice → Polish. The selected level applies across apps.
| Level | Result |
|---|---|
| None | Inserts the raw transcript, including fillers and mistakes |
| Light | Removes fillers and fixes grammar |
| Medium | Edits for clarity and concision; this is the default |
| High | Rewrites more freely for brevity and polish |
When polishing changes a saved transcript, mrmr retains both versions. Hover over it on Transcripts and choose Undo AI edit or Redo AI edit.
Set writing styles by context
Open Voice → Writing Style to control capitalization, punctuation, and formatting for different contexts.
Basic mode groups apps into Personal, Work, Email, and Other. Advanced mode provides more specific app categories. Each category can use a Formal, Casual, or Very Casual tone.
Pin an installed app to a category when automatic categorization does not match how you use it.
Add important words
Use Dictionary for names, product terms, technical vocabulary, or a phrase that should always become different text.
An entry can contain:
- A term mrmr should recognize.
- An optional replacement for how it should appear.
- A case-sensitive option.
Dictionary terms help recognition and are also applied after polishing. See Dictionary for bulk add, import, export, and sync.
How context helps
mrmr can use the active app, nearby text, clipboard context, writing-style settings, dictionary entries, and connected-workspace names to improve recognition and formatting. Sensitive fields such as passwords are excluded from captured context.
