In most Mac text fields, yes, when Accessibility permission is granted. The shortcut inserts the local transcript into the app that had focus when you started. Some apps and secure fields will not accept insertion. You can still copy the text.

No. Microphone audio used for dictation is transcribed on this Mac. It is not uploaded to Nimva for recognition. Sign-in uses the network only to check your license.

By default it inserts the local transcript. You can keep it literal, or use balanced or polished cleanup to drop common fillers and repeats. That cleanup runs on this Mac. It does not rewrite your meaning unless you later choose Rewrite with your model.

Yes, after the speech model is installed. Dictation does not need a network. A license may still need an occasional online check after the offline grace period.

English is the default written language, and you can change it. Automatic names the spoken language, including Hindi and Chinese, then writes the language you chose. You can also pick French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Hindi, or Hinglish. Quality varies. We do not claim support for 100 languages. Translation into a language other than English stays on this Mac and is not faked if it is unavailable.

It is off until you turn it on in Preferences. It is a separate action after local dictation. Only the transcript text is sent, and only directly from your Mac to the provider you choose. Your API key stays in the macOS Keychain. Nimva, Supabase, and Stripe never receive that key. Nimva does not bill those tokens.

Unlimited means no word cap and no minute meter on local dictation. It does not mean Nimva pays for a cloud language model. If you use your own key for rewrite, that provider bills you, not Nimva.

You can add people, products, acronyms, and terms to a personal dictionary stored on this Mac. It does not learn them from the cloud.
