# Transcription History

> Access and manage your past transcriptions

Pipit stores your transcriptions locally using SwiftData, giving you quick access to past dictations from the menu bar popover.

## Viewing History

Click the Pipit menu bar icon and switch to the **History** tab. Two views are available:

| Tab                | Contents                         |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| **Clipboard**      | Items you've copied to clipboard |
| **Transcriptions** | All dictations made with Pipit   |

## Search and Filter

Quickly find past transcriptions using the search bar. Results filter in real-time as you type.

## Quick Actions

Each history item supports:

* **Copy** — Copy text to clipboard (Cmd+C)
* **Type** — Insert at cursor in active app (Cmd+T)
* **Pin** — Keep important items from being pruned (Transcriptions only)
* **Delete** — Remove individual entries

## Keyboard Shortcuts

Navigate history efficiently:

| Shortcut                | Action                                       |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `Cmd+1` through `Cmd+9` | Quick-paste the corresponding item           |
| Arrow keys              | Navigate through items                       |
| `Tab`                   | Switch between Clipboard/Transcriptions tabs |
| `Esc` or `W`            | Close the popover                            |

## Pruning Limits

To keep things fast, history is automatically pruned:

* **200** clipboard items maximum
* **500** transcriptions maximum
* Pinned transcriptions are never pruned

<Tip>
  Pin transcriptions you need to reference frequently to keep them safe from pruning.
