While you dictate, Rekody shows a small floating pill near the bottom of your screen. It exists so you always know three things at a glance: that Rekody is listening, how long you have been talking, and what it heard. When the dictation ends, the pill disappears. The Rekody pill showing a timer, a teal waveform, and streaming transcript with a caret. ## What you see, left to right * **The target app's icon.** The app your text will land in, so there is never a surprise about where the words go. * **A timer.** How long this dictation has been running. * **A live waveform.** Moving bars that react to your voice, your confirmation that the microphone hears you. * **Your words, streaming in.** The transcript tail brightens as words settle, with a caret marking where the next word will land. In hands-free mode the pill also reminds you how to stop: tap ⌥ Space again, or just pause and Rekody finishes on its own. ## Out of your way by design * The pill floats above your windows but never takes focus. Your cursor stays where you are working. * It is hidden from screen shares by default, so a dictation during a call stays private to you. The Rekody pill floating over an editor and terminal while dictating. No pill on screen? The pill only appears while a dictation is running. If dictation itself is not starting, see [Troubleshooting](/app/troubleshooting). ## Related topics - [FAQ](/app/faq.md) - [Troubleshooting](/app/troubleshooting.md) - [Rekody](/index.md) - [Your first dictation](/app/first-dictation.md) - [config.toml reference](/developers/configuration.md)
