Features and privacy

Where do I find each setting in VybeScript?

Short answer

Open the VybeScript window (if it is closed, choose Show VybeScript from the "Vybe" menu in your menu bar) and click the gear icon at the top right. That opens Settings, one scrolling page split into sections. Your license and updates are in the menu bar item "Vybe".

Details

From top to bottom, the sections are (Transcription and Delivery sit side by side):

  • Interface language: the language of VybeScript's windows and menus. See Switch languages.
  • Recording: the Microphone status, Toggle recording and Push-to-talk shortcuts. See Change the shortcut.
  • Transcription:
    • Language for dictation.
    • Writing style.
    • Format as (Polish and Formal only).
    • Speech engine: Parakeet (the default) or Whisper.
    • A readout of the current engine, model, style and whether Apple Intelligence is ready.
  • Delivery: whether Automatic paste is Enabled or on Clipboard fallback, with Recheck Permissions.
  • Performance: how fast transcription and polishing feel on your Mac, with a Run Scan button (Re-run Scan after the first scan).
  • Vocabulary: custom words, corrections, import and export. See Teach VybeScript your words.
  • Local History: a checkbox to Save local transcript history, and Clear History. Saved only on this Mac.
  • Problem Reports: choose whether technical reports are sent automatically or never, and send one yourself with Report a Problem…. Automatic reports never include your audio or text.
  • Acknowledgments and About: open-source credits, version, contact links, the Privacy Policy and Check for Updates….

At the top there is a Setup Guide button to run the first-time setup again.

Elsewhere in the app

The menu bar item "Vybe" has Show VybeScript, Toggle Recording (with your shortcut in brackets), a line showing your push-to-talk key, Report a Problem…, Test Floating Overlay, License…, Check for Updates… and Quit.

The main window also has Recognition Language, Writing Style and Recent Transcripts. While a free trial is active it shows how much of the trial is left.
