What are the steps?
Szept Agent Handoff Configuration (Delivery)
- 01
Confirm the Soniox API key is entered in Szept's first-run setup before any client session
Cloud speech recognition will not initialize without it, so dictation silently fails mid-demo. Verify by holding fn and speaking one test sentence into a scratch TextEdit window.
- 02
Point the AI cleanup endpoint at an OpenAI-compatible service
DeepSeek is the default. If the client's security policy blocks it, swap the endpoint before delivery day rather than during the walkthrough, because filler-word removal and punctuation fixes run on every dictation.
- 03
Map the client's recurring developer workflow onto the four Szept functions
Dictate into any app, AI cleanup, Command-Shift-A screenshot annotation, and screen region recording with audio and camera. Pick the two the client will actually use in week one and leave the rest for the retainer.
- 04
Configure the agent handoff so testable context lands in Claude Code or Cursor
Dictate the instruction, attach the annotated screenshot or recording, and confirm the pasted payload includes both. A handoff that drops the screenshot forces the agent to guess at UI state.
- 05
Set the destination-app formatting behavior for each app the client dictates into
AI cleanup adjusts formatting based on the destination app, so a prompt tuned for a code editor will read wrong in an email client. Test the three apps the client uses most.
- 06
Enable 60+ language support and rehearse mid-sentence switching if the client's team is multilingual
Switching mid-sentence is supported, but the client's team needs one practice pass to trust it. Skip this step entirely for single-language teams.
- 07
Walk the client through the searchable local history of dictations, screenshots, and recordings
This is the retention hook: once a month of agent handoffs sits in local history, ripping Szept out costs the client their searchable trail. Show the search before you show the settings.
