AI Styles & Tones

The 13 AI styles

After transcription, an optional LLM pass rewrites your text. From Correct to Imbruttito, with 11 styles in between.

By default the LLM pass is Off and Dimmy pastes the raw transcription. Pick a style to have it rewritten before paste. Switch styles on the fly with scroll-on-pill or from Settings → Output.
