How to teach Koi your words, snippets and styles
Make Koi spell names your way, type a saved address when you say a phrase, and pick Casual or Formal for each app. All in Settings, Dictation, on your Mac.
Step by step
How to do it
- Click into the field you want to write in: a message, an email, a document, a code editor.
- Tap Fn + ⌥ and start talking. The dock's Dictate button turns into red sound bars while it listens.
- Stop talking and Koi stops by itself, or tap Fn + ⌥ again.
- Say "new line", "new paragraph" or "clear all" on its own, after a pause, to do it rather than type it.
Good to know
Worth knowing
- Dictation runs on your Mac with Whisper, so it works offline. 57 languages, picked by itself.
- Ums, stammers and a corrected number ("3, no, 4") are tidied away. Settings, Dictation turns tidying off.
- Settings, Dictation, Type in English types English whatever language you speak (the Small and Base models).
- Nothing typed? Koi needs Accessibility: System Settings, Privacy & Security, Accessibility, switch Koi on.
- The keys are yours to change in Settings, Shortcuts.

How to talk to Koi
Tap the call keys once and talk: Koi answers out loud, looks at your screen, points, draws and fixes your writing. How a call starts, ends and what it sees.
How to type to Koi
Tap Control twice for Koi's chat box: type a question, get a written answer that sees your screen and selected text, and send saved prompts with a slash.
How to fix or rewrite text anywhere
Select text in any Mac app and ask Koi to fix the grammar, shorten it or reply for you. Changed words are highlighted and Command Z takes it back.
