In the app, Snaply shows two dictation language choices:

• English
• Multi-language

That is the choice you make in the app. Behind the scenes, Snaply may use a smaller or larger local model depending on your Mac’s available memory, but the user-facing setup remains the same.

​

Which One Should You Pick?

​

English

Use English if you mostly dictate in English and want the simplest setup.

​

Multi-language

Use Multi-language if you speak any supported non-English language or switch languages often. Snaply supports 25 European languages in Multi-language mode:

​

Default Selection

On first launch, Snaply chooses a starting option from your Mac’s primary language:

• If your Mac is set to English, Snaply starts with English.
• If your Mac’s primary language is one of the supported non-English languages above, Snaply starts with Multi-language.
• Otherwise, it falls back to English.

​

How To Change It

1. Go to Settings -> Dictation.
2. Under Dictation language, choose English or Multi-language.
3. If needed, Snaply downloads and initializes that language option.

The download only happens once on that Mac for each language option.

Notes

• You only need one language option active at a time.
• Explicit punctuation is English-first. In other languages, Automatic punctuation is the safer default.
• Meeting Notes uses the same English vs Multi-language setting as Dictation.
