You'll see a small indicator appear showing Whisp is listening.

Just talk! Speak at your normal pace and Whisp will transcribe your words in real-time. Don't worry about pausing—Whisp handles natural speech patterns.

Step 4: Stop Dictating

Press the hotkey again or click the Whisp indicator to stop. Your text will be automatically inserted where your cursor was.
