First run

Setting up
takes three steps.

  1. 1

    Install and open Cosso

    Open the installer and move Cosso to Applications on Mac, or run the setup on Windows.

  2. 2

    Allow the microphone

    Cosso asks for the microphone, and on Mac for Accessibility too, so it can type where your cursor is.

  3. 3

    Let the speech model download

    It's about 890 MB and downloads once. After that, dictation works offline: press the shortcut and speak.
