Get help with OneSentence.

Getting Started

OneSentence is a menu bar utility designed for speed and privacy. After installation, follow these steps to get started:

  1. Complete the Setup: On first launch, the app will download the necessary AI models (approx. 4GB). This ensures everything runs 100% offline.
  2. Check the Menu Bar: Look for the waveform icon in the top right of your screen. This is where you'll find all settings and status indicators.
  3. Grant Permissions: OneSentence requires Microphone access for dictation and Accessibility access to read your text selections. The default recording limit is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

Keyboard Shortcuts

⌘ + 5 Start/Stop Listening Dictate thoughts directly to your clipboard.
⌘ + 6 Read Selection (English) Professional English narration using pro AI voices.

You can customize these shortcuts in the Settings menu.

System Requirements

  • Operating System macOS 13.3 or later
  • Processor Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4)
  • Storage 4GB available space
  • Internet Required only for initial setup

Common Issues

App not recording?

Ensure OneSentence has "Microphone" permission in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone.

Why does it need Accessibility permission?

OneSentence is an Assistive Tool. It uses Accessibility permissions to instantly capture and read selected text without forcing you to set up complex system shortcuts. It’s about speed and ease of use for everyone, especially those with Dyslexia or ADHD. Check System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility.

Model download stuck?

Ensure you have a stable internet connection and at least 4GB of free disk space. You can retry the download from the setup screen or settings menu.
