A MacBook opens. You press your AeriVoice shortcut and talk: the notch shows “Listening…” and then your words as you say them, then “Refining…”, and the cleaned-up text is pasted into the terminal prompt you were typing in.

Make it sound like you.

Drops the ums, fixes punctuation, keeps your wording.

DefaultSmooths the grammar and keeps the day you meant.

Turns spoken lists into real ones and applies your corrections.

Polished, plus your own instructions.“Translate into Japanese.”
