Features Guide
Home tab
The launch/control center:
- readiness checks (permissions, model, input)
- start/stop dictation
- quick path to blocked settings
Dictionary tab
Custom vocabulary for better recognition.
Use this for:
- names
- product terms
- acronyms
- team/internal words
Tip: Add terms exactly as you want them output.
Clipboard tab
Search and reuse previous transcription outputs.
- browse history
- copy previous output
- pin or preserve high-value snippets (if enabled)
- clear history when needed
Sequential paste
With clipboard history enabled, you can replay past entries in sequence:
- configure a sequential-paste hotkey in Settings → Advanced
- trigger the hotkey repeatedly to cycle through recent outputs
- a configurable sequence timeout resets the position after inactivity
Sessions tab
Meeting/session workflow surface:
- record session audio (mic + system audio simultaneously)
- monitor live transcript with speaker labels
- stop + summarize
- optional speaker/presentation controls
- export/share outputs (when enabled)
Agent workspace integration
When an agent session is linked to a meeting recording, liltype auto-syncs the latest transcript segments to the agent workspace (debounced 500 ms). Supported companion types: Claude, Codex, Gemini, Custom.
Transport can be ACP, CLI, or Automatic (liltype picks based on what is detected).
Support tab
Diagnostics and self-serve fixes:
- permission re-check actions
- model/runtime availability checks
- troubleshooting shortcuts
Recording window styles
Available recording overlays:
- Classic: larger waveform + status text
- Mini: compact capsule
- None: no floating overlay
Choose based on visibility vs distraction.
Output behavior
By default:
- transcription result goes to clipboard
- optional auto-paste inserts into focused app (if enabled + Accessibility granted)
If the target app loses focus during transcription, liltype falls back to a notification instead of pasting.
Recording feedback
While recording, liltype shows:
- live waveform level meter
- elapsed recording time
Press Escape at any time to cancel and discard the current recording without transcribing.
Meeting capture
Automatic detection watches for supported apps (Zoom, Teams, FaceTime, WebEx, Discord, Slack). When a monitored app is detected, liltype can:
- prompt you to start a session
- auto-start recording
- or notify without prompting
Session notes auto-save every 500 ms and orphaned drafts from interrupted sessions are recovered on next session start.
Speaker diarization
Speakers are labeled heuristically (e.g., "You", "Speaker 1", "Speaker 2"). You can rename speakers in the session view. The confidence threshold for diarization is configurable in Settings → Meeting.
Audio artifact retention
liltype can optionally save audio files locally for review:
- Dictation audio: off by default
- Meeting audio: on by default
Configure in Settings → Privacy. Audio is never uploaded to liltype infrastructure.
