OpenWispr employs global hotkeys (the default setting is the backquote key `) to start and stop the dictation function, ensuring that users can quickly perform voice input in any application. When the hotkey is pressed, the system displays a draggable dictation panel that automatically records the user's voice and pastes the text directly to the currently active application cursor location when processing is complete.
To enhance the user experience, hotkeys support customized configurations, and users can easily modify hotkey settings in the Control Panel to avoid conflicts with other applications. On macOS, OpenWispr accessibility must be granted in the system privacy settings to ensure that the auto-paste function works properly.
