While it downloads
Install in three steps.
1
Open the download
Click VV_1.2.0_aarch64.dmg in your browser's downloads, or find it in your Downloads folder. A window opens with VV and your Applications folder.
2
Drag VV into Applications
That is the whole install. Then eject the disk image and open the app from Applications, Launchpad or Spotlight.
3
Allow two permissions
macOS asks for Microphone so VV can hear you, and Accessibility so it can type where your cursor is. VV explains each one first and takes you to the right switch.
First minute
Then you just speak.
Pick a key
VV suggests a shortcut on the first-run screen. Hold it and talk, let go and the words appear where the cursor is.
Try it on the guided screen
The first run has a practice box, so the first sentence you dictate is not in an email to your boss.
Go hands-free
Double tap the key and VV keeps listening until you tap once more. Handy for long replies.
