On-device cleanup
Cleanup
Basic cleanup removes "um", adds capitals and full stops, and formats times and numbers. It runs on your phone and needs no cleanup model download.
Refine uses ScribeKey Fast on your phone to remove repeats and false starts, apply spoken corrections, follow your writing style and turn three or more items into bullets. It needs a 64-bit phone with at least 6 GB of memory. Other phones keep Basic cleanup.
