It's typed

Lots of tricks.
Smart formatting

“Hey Gooby”, hands-free
Say his name to start. Pause to finish. It's optional and off by default.
Edit by voice
Select text anywhere and say “Gooby, make this shorter”, “fix the grammar” or “translate this into French”. It's rewritten right where it is.
