  3. Open SpeechBee

    Open it from Applications. It lives in your menu bar, and a short setup walks you through the rest. The speech model downloads once, then dictation works offline.

  4. Allow three permissions

    Microphone, so it can hear you. Accessibility, so it can type where your cursor is. Input Monitoring, so your shortcut works in every app. Setup shows you where to switch each one on.

  5. Hold your key and talk

    Pick a shortcut in setup, such as Right Command. Hold it in any app, talk, and let go. Your words appear at the cursor.
