Scratchpad

Scratchpad is a standalone notes window for thinking out loud before text belongs anywhere else. Dictate into it, select a passage, then apply a transform such as Polish, Translate, or one of your custom rewrites.

It is especially useful for drafting an outline, turning loose notes into an email, or comparing several versions before you paste the final result into another app.
