Dashboard & history

Home

The headline number is time back — an estimate of how long the same text would have taken to type, computed at 40 words per minute against your actual dictated word count. Below it: total words, number of takes, and a running streak of days used.

The rest of the pane holds a “this week” chart of minutes returned per day, a breakdown of which apps you dictate into most (shown once you have used at least two), your three most recent takes, and — kept permanently — the very first thing you ever dictated.

History

Every take, with its timestamp, the app you dictated into, the text, and a word count. Each row has a Copy button.

History holds the most recent 500 entries and rolls over after that. It lives on your Mac in ~/Library/Application Support/OpenVoiceFlow/ and is never uploaded. Audio is not kept at all — only the resulting text.

To clear it: Settings ▸ Privacy ▸ Delete history…, which offers Delete, keep my first words or Delete everything. The first option exists because people tend to want the memento even when clearing the log.

The menu-bar menu

The waveform icon at the top right gives you the fast controls without opening the dashboard: pause listening for an hour, change the hotkey, change the cleanup backend, open permission settings, and check for updates.
