OpenWhispr's settings are grouped into nine sections. This page is the map, so you can go straight to the one you want instead of hunting. Open **Settings** from the sidebar. ## The nine sections | Group | Section | Holds | | ------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | **Account** | **Account** | Profile and sign-in | | **Account** | **Plans & Billing** | Plans, usage and billing | | **Account** | **Workspace** | Members, team spaces and API keys | | **App** | **Preferences** | Appearance, sounds and startup | | **App** | **Hotkeys** | Dictation hotkey and activation | | **AI Models** | **Speech-to-Text** | Engines for dictation and note recording | | **AI Models** | **Language Models** | Models for chat, cleanup and summaries | | **System** | **Privacy & Data** | Privacy, permissions and analytics | | **System** | **System** | Updates, storage and developer tools | ## The two sections with tabs These are where people most often look in the right section and still not find the setting — because it's on a tab they didn't switch to. **Speech-to-Text** has three tabs, and each keeps its **own** engine choice: | Tab | Controls | | ------------------ | ---------------------------------- | | **Dictation** | The engine used when you dictate | | **Note Recording** | The engine used for meetings | | **Audio Upload** | The engine used for uploaded files | Changing one changes only that one. "Switch to local" is not a single setting — see [record a meeting](/help/meetings/record-a-meeting) for the meetings case and [cloud vs local](/guides/cloud-vs-local) for the choice itself. **Language Models** has five tabs: **Dictation Cleanup**, **Voice Agent**, **Note Formatting**, **Chat** and **Translation** — again each with its own model choice. ## What's inside Preferences **Preferences** is the longest section, and it renders in this order: | Group | Holds | | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Appearance** | **Theme** — Light, Dark or Auto | | **Sound Effects** | **Dictation sounds**, **Pause media** | | **Notifications** | Meeting detection, calendar reminders, app updates, and **Disable all notifications** | | **Clipboard** | **Automatic pasting**, **Keep transcription in clipboard** | | **Save notes as files** | The Markdown mirror, its location, and **Rebuild all files** | | **Floating Icon** | **Auto-hide when idle**, **Start position** | | **Language** | **Interface language**, **Transcription language** | | **Startup** | **Launch at login** (macOS and Windows only), **Start minimized** | | **Microphone** | **Input Device**, **Prefer Built-in Microphone** | | **Auto-learn from corrections** | Learning from your edits | [Running in the background](/platform/running-in-the-background) covers what the appearance, sound, floating-icon and startup settings actually do. ## What's inside Privacy & Data and System | Section | Also holds | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Privacy & Data** | **Usage analytics** (off by default), **Cloud backup** and its status lines, **Audio Retention** — including a **Disabled** option — and the **Permissions** block | | **System** | **Updates** with **Current version**, **Debug Logging** and what gets logged, and **Data Management** — **Model cache** (Open, Clear cache) and **Reset app data** | ## Things that aren't where you'd guess A short list of the ones that catch people out: | Setting | Where it actually is | | -------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Meeting Mode Hotkey** | **Hotkeys** — with the dictation, translation, voice agent and chat agent shortcuts | | **Save notes as files** | **Preferences** | | **Auto-learn from corrections** | **Preferences** | | **Input Device** (microphone) | **Preferences** | | **Meeting detection** and **Calendar reminders** notifications | **Preferences**, under **Notifications** | | **Cloud backup** | **Privacy & Data** | | **Audio Retention** and **Transcript Retention** | **Privacy & Data** | | **Permissions** | A block *inside* **Privacy & Data**, not its own section | | **Debug Logging** | **System** | | **Current version** | **System**, under **Updates** | | **Identify and label speakers** | **Speech-to-Text** → **Note Recording** tab, under the engine list — there is no "Meetings" section | ## Things that aren't in Settings at all | What | Where | | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Custom dictionary and snippets | **Dictionary** in the sidebar | | Google Calendar, API keys, MCP, CLI | **Integrations** in the sidebar | | Speaker identification for **one** recording | The pill on the meeting transcript itself — the global default is in Settings, above | ## Related * [Choose your microphone](/help/customise/choose-your-microphone) * [Teach OpenWhispr your words](/help/customise/custom-dictionary) * [What we store, and for how long](/help/privacy/what-we-store-and-for-how-long) * [Choosing a shortcut](/help/dictation/choosing-a-shortcut)
