A few things before you start.
Does it rewrite in every text field?
Editable selections can be replaced when Accessibility access supports the field. Read-only selections and unsupported fields use the clipboard. AI rewriting requires a configured provider and may incur fees.
Is SayRemote hardware or software?
SayRemote is a Mac app. It maps Siri Remote Gen 3, Gen 1, Xiaomi Remote 2 Pro, or Xiaomi Remote Standard to pointer movement, scrolling and shortcuts. The remote is not included.
Does my voice leave the Mac?
Voice processing depends on your engine and settings. Local options include Apple Speech, WhisperKit and Ollama. Cloud providers such as Gemini and OpenAI send data to the service you choose and may charge fees.
Do I need the advanced microphone setup?
No for buttons, scrolling and voice through the Mac microphone. Full Setup is only for remote audio, if your setup meets its additional requirements.
