What it means
Focus-safe insertion is a defensive rule for text placement. The product waits until it is reasonably sure about the target before inserting dictated output.
Why it matters more than raw transcription quality
A perfect transcript in the wrong place still feels like failure. For workflow tools, insertion safety is part of correctness, not a secondary UX feature.
Why it matters in Mallo
Mallo works across apps and fields, so it cannot assume the target is stable. Focus-safe insertion protects users when they switch windows, tab through forms, or trigger dictation too early.
FAQ
Common questions
Why is focus-safe insertion important?
Because the fastest dictation workflow still fails if text lands in the wrong field or app.
What does a safe insertion policy usually do?
It checks whether the target is still focused, still editable, and still the place the user expects before committing text.
How does this affect Mallo trust?
Reliable targeting is one of the main reasons users keep using a cursor-insertion dictation tool instead of abandoning it.
