Common questions

Dictation shortcut isn't inserting text

Sotto needs Microphone access to hear you — grant it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone if you haven't already. Sotto copies the transcribed text to your clipboard, so press ⌘V to paste it wherever your cursor is.

Parakeet download is stuck, or I want to remove it

Open Sotto's Settings — the Parakeet section there lets you retry, cancel, or delete the downloaded model (about 470 MB) at any time.

How do I clear my dictation history or dictionary?

Both can be cleared from within the app — see History and Dictionary in the sidebar.

How do I uninstall Sotto?

Quit the app and drag it from Applications to the Trash, like any Mac app. Nothing else needs cleaning up — see the Privacy Policy for exactly what Sotto stores.
