How to dictate in any app
Tap the dictation keys, talk, and Koi types where your cursor is, in any Mac app. Voice commands, offline use, languages and how to stop, step by step.
Step by step
How to do it
- Import a PDF, Word file or slides: File, Import…, or the Documents window.
- In the document's menu, pick Make study notes for a summary, key points, flashcards and a quiz.
- Click the Study pill over a set of flashcards. Space shows the back; 1 to 4 rates it.
- Turn on Study mode in Settings, Koi, or the menu bar, and Koi asks what you'd try next instead of giving the answer.
Good to know
Worth knowing
- By voice: "make flashcards from this page", "let's study", "quiz me on what I got wrong".
- In Study mode, what you miss is kept as flashcards on a page called "What I got wrong".
- Only the document's words go to Koi's AI, and only when you ask.
