The macOS app now uses on-screen context to turn free-flowing speech into a formatted draft at the cursor.

Gemini's macOS app now includes voice understanding, using what's on screen to turn free-flowing speech into a formatted draft at the cursor. Instead of transcribing dictation word for word, it reads the intent behind the "ums" and false starts and writes the cleaned-up version directly into the active document. The [Gemini](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/gemini>) macOS app is [available to download today](<https://x.com/i/status/2056802434303869118>).
