Dictation settings

These settings control how your spoken words turn into text and land at your cursor. Find them in Settings → Dictation.

Pause before paste

How long you stay silent before RadMyk finalizes a phrase and delivers it.

• Default: moderate (about 1.2 seconds).
• Make it longer if you tend to pause mid-thought and RadMyk cuts you off.
• Make it shorter if you want text to appear faster between phrases.

Auto-paste

• On (default): RadMyk places each finished phrase at your cursor automatically.
• Off: your words go to the clipboard only, and you paste them yourself with Cmd+V / Ctrl+V. Turn this off if you’d rather review before anything lands.

Type with keystrokes

• Off (default): RadMyk pastes the text (fast).
• On: RadMyk types the text in as keystrokes instead, which leaves your clipboard untouched. Turn it on if you rely on your clipboard, or if a particular app doesn’t accept a normal paste.

Type while you speak

Requires Type with keystrokes. When on, RadMyk types settled words as you’re still talking, instead of waiting for the pause. It feels more live; some people find it busier. Off by default.

Add a period at the end of a sentence

• On (default): RadMyk adds a period after each finished phrase.
• Off: no automatic period. Turn it off if you dictate short fragments, or if you always say “period” yourself.

Append a space after text

• On (default): a trailing space is added so your next phrase doesn’t stick to the last one.
• Off: no trailing space - useful when you’re dictating something that should butt right up against what follows.
