Canto
Canto is Talkuza's voice-command layer: instead of dictating text, you say what should open — and it opens. There is no mode to switch into. A sentence is a command only if it starts with “Talky”.
How it works
- Hold Fn and dictate as usual.
- Start the sentence with “Talky” — “Talky, open Notes and open YouTube in Chrome”.
- Say “Talky” anywhere else in a sentence and it's just typed as text — never a command by accident.
- If Canto can't find an app or a website, it asks you for the full domain name right in the pile.
Cheat-sheet
| Say | Talkuza does |
|---|---|
| “Talky, open <app>” | Opens the named Mac app (e.g. “Talky, open Notes”). |
| “Talky, open <website> in Chrome” | Opens the site in Chrome. Famous sites open by name — “Talky, open YouTube in Chrome” needs no “.com”. |
| “Talky, open <app> and open <website> in Chrome” | Chains the actions with “and”, in order — the app first, then the site. |
| “Talky, open it” | “It” means the app you just opened — pronouns point at what Canto opened last. |
Tips
- Speak naturally — “Talky, open my notes” works as well as “Talky, open Notes”.
- For a site Canto doesn't know, say the full domain: “Talky, open github.com in Chrome”.
- Commands never run while you're mid-dictation; finish the sentence first.
