Known Limitations
VoiceType behavior differs by distribution channel because macOS security models differ. This page is the source of truth for current constraints.
App Store build is clipboard-first
App Store: No accessibility-driven automation path is used. VoiceType captures text quickly and copies to clipboard by design.
Direct build: Supports auto-paste insertion pipeline with explicit fallbacks.
Secure input can block insertion
Some apps or fields enable secure input (for example password-like contexts). In these cases system restrictions can block automation and VoiceType falls back to clipboard notice.
Accessibility permission persistence
If the app is launched from a translocated path, macOS may not persist permissions. Move VoiceType to /Applications to avoid repeated prompts.
AI Polish requires active Pro session
Polish requests require a verified signed app session token. Expired or missing tokens are rejected and VoiceType falls back to raw text safely.
