Bulbul on macOS

On macOS, Bulbul needs two system permissions:

  • Microphone to record dictation.
  • Accessibility to type into other apps and identify the focused app for per-app style.

If Accessibility appears enabled but Bulbul cannot type, use the app’s Quit & Relaunch option to clear a stale permission cache, then try again. Keep the destination app focused before starting a dictation.
