Known limitations

We would rather tell you the rough edges up front. Here is the current, honest list.

What to expect

  • On-device mode does not add dialogue quotes on its own. Say “open quote” and “close quote”, or use the Cloud (Pro) engine, whose fiction formatting places quotes and paragraphs. When unsure, Murmurtale leaves text alone rather than adding wrong quotes.
  • A cosmetic capitalization glitch. After some spoken commands a following word can keep a stray capital. It is harmless; fix it in a quick edit pass.
  • No streaming insertion. Text lands when you release the key, not as you speak.
  • Secure fields are not guarded yet. Password boxes fall through to paste; type credentials by hand. See Supported apps.
  • English is what we have tested. Other languages are not part of the current release.
  • The menu-bar icon can be hidden by a full menu bar; use the pill.
  • The dialogue engine uses memory while running. Its first request after launch takes a couple of seconds to warm up, and it holds a few gigabytes of RAM until you quit.

None of these put your words at risk — Murmurtale's guards keep bad output out of your manuscript and keep your audio recoverable. If you hit something not listed here, please let us know.
