FAQ
Do improved transcripts (or any for that matter) get saved to a cloud database?
No. All local.
Is any of my clipboard history stored or sent through your cloud database?
No. All local. Auto-improve is the only system where what's been transcribed or copied in a context stacking session will have been exposed to a model. But these are not stored by Field Theory either.
Are drawings stored in a cloud database?
No. All local.
Can I auto-delete my clipboard history after a while?
Yes. In settings.
Is local voice transcription actually local?
Yes.
What languages does Field Theory support for transcription?
English-only (atm).
Are verbal commands actually local?
Yes.
Is auto-improve available in Hot Mic mode?
No. Auto-improve is not available in Hot Mic mode.
What does Hot Mic require?
Hot Mic now uses the same transcription engine you selected in Field Theory. Apple Silicon gives the best performance for MLX Whisper, while Parakeet and whisper.cpp also run fully offline.

Yes. Use Settings -> Hot Mic to edit phrase groups. If needed, click Reset Voice Defaults.
Where can I see the full Hot Mic command guide?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sometimes pseudonyms are cool.

Can I cancel my account?
