It works with the standard Mac dictation. However, it does not work with software like MacWhisper, which is much more efficient.

Achille: I just tested dictation and it works fine with MacWhisper, need any help setting it up?

Jarek Ceborski Thank you for responding to my post! I have re-tested (latest version of all software) and I confirm that I cannot use MacWhisper in the "Ask Anything" area of Kerlig. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Achille: What exactly is happening? I've set up the right option key as a Dictation Keyboard Button with "Push to talk" mode. So, I open Kerlig with my hotkey, then push the option key, say something, release the option key, and the text appears in the "Ask AI to..." field.

Jarek Ceborski Thank you for the follow-up!
Although my settings differ slightly, they don't really explain the issue. I finally discovered the cause: the blue icon of MacWhisper simply doesn't appear with Kerlig. Despite the absence of visual feedback, it still functions properly. As a result, I now rely on the "Play dictation sound" option.
The only other software where I experience a similar problem is SublimeText, but it's not a big concern since I rarely use it anymore.

Achille: Ah I see! Glad it's working for you now. Thanks!

Jarek Ceborski Hello,
I’ve been in touch with the developer of MacWhisper, and they would like to connect with you for a discussion between developers. Could you please let me know the best way for them to get in touch with you?

Achille: Thanks! I've actually chatted for a bit with Jordi last year on X/Twitter, happy continue the discussion there 😊

Have you tried dictating?
