Gemini for macOS: System-Wide AI Dictation & Tools

Google is expanding its Gemini app for macOS into a system-wide language tool. You can now hold down the Fn key and speak into any window. Gemini will turn your speech into formatted text. It can also rephrase content, summarize files, and generate images. This update is rolling out worldwide, but it is initially only available in English. Here's the thing: The intelligent dictation feature removes filler words like "ums" and corrects slips of the tongue. What's interesting is you can enable "Gemini Reasoning" for more complex tasks. This allows the AI to understand your on-screen context. For example, you can highlight files and ask Gemini to summarize information or draft and rewrite text. You can also generate and edit images using voice commands. The bottom line: This update turns Gemini into an assistant that works across different apps on your Mac.
