Punctuation and formatting

Automatic punctuation

You speak in plain sentences and VoiceSnap Pro punctuates them. The transcription model reads phrasing, grammar and the pauses between clauses to place full stops, commas and question marks, and it capitalises the first word of each sentence and the names it recognises. You never say the word “comma” out loud.

It also tends to write things the way people usually write them rather than the way they say them: numbers, times, percentages and amounts generally come out as figures, and an email address or web address spoken aloud usually comes out without spaces. “Usually” is the honest word — these are the model's habits rather than settings, so check anything where the exact form matters.

No spoken punctuation, and why

VoiceSnap Pro has no spoken-punctuation mode. Saying “comma” or “new paragraph” is not a command it acts on: the words go to the transcription model like the rest of what you said, and what comes back depends on the model rather than on a rule.

In practice that is rarely a loss. For prose — email, messages, documents — automatic punctuation does the work, and constantly saying “comma” breaks the rhythm that makes dictation faster than typing in the first place. When you need one exact mark, type it.

Paragraphs and line breaks

VoiceSnap Pro does not insert paragraph breaks, and there is no spoken command for one: a dictation comes back as running text. If you need structure — paragraphs, a list, an address, a code comment — dictate it in pieces and press Return between them yourself.

In a chat box where Return sends the message, VoiceSnap Pro never presses it for you. The text is pasted, and sending stays your decision.

Filler words and false starts

VoiceSnap Pro has no filler-word filter: nothing goes through your dictation taking out “um”, “uh” or a sentence you restarted. The transcription model writes down what it hears, so the cleanest dictation comes from pausing silently while you think rather than filling the pause.

If a dictation does need tidying, do it afterwards and on purpose: Fix grammar & spelling or Make shorter, run as an AI action, cleans it up and saves the result as a new note.

Names and jargon

Punctuation is rarely what needs fixing; names are. Add the people, products and terms you use to your personal vocabulary, and the model is given your spellings with every dictation. Custom vocabulary covers it.

Fixing it up afterwards

When a dictation needs reshaping rather than correcting, run an AI action on it: Fix grammar & spelling, Make shorter or Turn into bullet points. On a dictation the result is saved as a new note, so the original is never changed. In a note, the action works in place, and Undo takes it straight back. On the free allowance each action uses one of your AI actions; Pro has no allowance to use up.

AI actions are never applied to a dictation on their own. What you said is what gets pasted; anything more is a choice you make afterwards.
