Finder Integration

The short answer: open Finder, select a file and press Return to rename it, press ⌃+⌥+R, speak the descriptive filename for 5-10 seconds, and AICHE inserts the formatted name ready to save.

Typing descriptive filenames with proper context creates friction in file organization workflows, and most people use generic names like "document-final-v2" because detailed naming feels tedious.

1. Open Finder and navigate to your files.
2. Select a file and press Return to enter rename mode (or right-click and choose "Rename").
3. Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
4. Speak the descriptive filename (example: "Q4 2024 marketing campaign results final approved version").
5. Press the hotkey again - AICHE transcribes and inserts the filename.
6. Press Return to save the new filename.

Heads-up: macOS filenames can't contain certain characters (colon, slash, null). AICHE transcribes what you say literally, so speak "dash" or "underscore" explicitly if you want those separators, or clean up the filename after dictation.

The pro-tip: use Finder's Get Info panel (⌘I) to add Spotlight comments with AICHE. Dictate detailed descriptions of file contents, project context, or search keywords. These comments become searchable in Spotlight without cluttering your filenames.

Result: organizing 20 files with descriptive names that takes 15 minutes of typing becomes 4 minutes of dictation, and future file searches become significantly more effective.

Do this now: open your Downloads or Desktop folder, select one poorly-named file, press Return to rename it, then press your hotkey and dictate a descriptive name that explains what the file actually contains.
