Getting Started

Welcome! Let's get you set up with dIKta.me. It’s simpler than you think—no coding or complex installations required.

1. Installation

Since V2 is a native Windows app, it just works.

1. Download: dIKta.me is currently in early access. Join the waitlist to be notified when downloads are available.
2. Run: Once available, double-click the installer.

   Heads up: Since we're a new app, Windows might ask if you trust us. Click "More info" -> "Run anyway" to proceed.

3. Done: dIKta.me will launch automatically and settle into your system tray.

2. First Run Wizard

The first time you open dIKta.me, we'll walk you through a quick setup:

• 🎙️ Mic Check: Pick your microphone. We'll show you a little level meter so you know you're being heard.
• 🧠 Brain Check: Choose your AI.
  • Cloud Mode: Easiest way to start. Just need an API key.
  • Local Mode: Great for privacy buffs. Uses Whisper/Ollama on your own machine.
• ✅ Permissions: We'll ask for permission to listen (when you say so) and type (where you tell us).

3. How to Use It

Think of dIKta.me as a quiet assistant living in your system tray.

• To Dictate: Click anywhere you can type and press Ctrl+Alt+D. Ideally, hold it down while you talk, like a walkie-talkie.
• To Stop: Just let go. We'll type out what you said.
• To Tweak: Right-click the little tray icon to change settings anytime.

That's it! You're ready to talk.
