## What's tracked

* Total dictations since install.

* Total words dictated (counted from the final, post-LLM text).
* Average words per minute speaking.
* Time saved vs typing (audio seconds vs estimated typing-at-40-wpm seconds for the same word count).
* Most-used style and tone.
* Most-used provider.

## Charts

By-week dictations, words per day, accuracy proxy (transcriptions that triggered Reapply, suggesting the first pass missed something). All rendered locally from your history.db.

## Reset
