David Heinemeier HanssonandClaude Fable 5 55434792d1 Cover the shell, capture, browsers, and networking in the manual
Add chapters for the top bar and its panels, screenshots and recording,
toggles/idle/screensaver, browsers, shell plugins, and networking, which
collects the Wi-Fi, DNS, firewall, and Tailscale material that was spread
across the FAQ, TUIs, and services chapters.

Fill smaller gaps in the existing chapters: user hooks, autostart, menu
extensions, printing, power profiles, factory reset, drive and user
passwords, passwordless sudo, firmware updates, display text size, and
the LocalSend share menu.

Text Extraction & Dictation

Text Extraction

Hit Super + Ctrl + PrtScr to select a region on the screen for text extraction. The tesseract open source OCR model will then quickly convert that selection into text and place it on the clipboard. Then you just hit Super + V to paste.

This is very helpful for grabbing addresses out of image footers or phone numbers embedded in website headlines.

Dictation

Omarchy offers AI dictation via Voxtype. You install it via Install > AI > Dictation through the Omarchy menu. By default, it'll load a base English model that takes up 150MB. But you can tweak which model you'd like to use by running voxtype setup model in the terminal. And you can tweak all the settings via ~/.config/voxtype/config.toml.

Once installed, you dictate by holding down F9 or by toggling with Super + Ctrl + X, and the dictated text will appear in the focused input area.
