What Orca One actually does
- Dictation writes polished text into Mac apps. Speech processing runs on your Apple silicon Mac after setup and activation.
- Notetaker records microphone and system audio, then keeps the recording and speaker-labeled transcript locally.
- A connected external AI agent can read notes when you enable access. Orca One does not generate built-in meeting summaries.
- One purchase covers dictation, meeting capture, and the voice launcher on one Mac. A free trial is available.
