Having an automated test that fails the build if anything leaves the Mac during dictation is a really reassuring detail. When pasting doesn't work in an app, does the text stay somewhere I can copy it from, like the local history?

tried it in warp terminal and it pasted clean, no weird formatting, way better than i expected for a terminal

@pixelmus Are you running Parakeet in a streaming mode with a rolling buffer, or transcribing the whole utterance after the key is released? I'm curious how it holds up on accented English and when someone switches languages mid-sentence.
