Voice commands

There are no voice commands

Everything you say while a dictation is running is transcribed as text. There is no phrase VoiceSnap Pro acts on instead of writing it down — no “new line”, no “scratch that”, no “cap that” — in any language.

That keeps dictation predictable. An ordinary sentence that happens to contain the words “delete that” is never mistaken for an instruction, and nothing you say can press a button, send a message or open an app.

What to do instead

Each job a voice command would do has a keyboard or app equivalent, and most of them take one key.

• A wrong word — let go, fix it with the keyboard, and carry on.
• The wrong window, or a sentence you want to start again — press Escape while you are still recording. Nothing is pasted or saved.
• Line breaks and lists — dictate one item at a time and press Return between them yourself.
• The same text somewhere else — Control + Option + V (Ctrl + Alt + V) pastes your last dictation again.
• Reshaping a note — bullet points, a shorter version, a translation — is an AI action: right-click in the note or press ⌘J (Ctrl + J).
• Names and jargon spelled your way — personal vocabulary.
• A reminder about a note — the one thing you can ask for by voice. With Reminders from your voice on, “remind me tomorrow at 9” in a voice note sets a reminder on that note; the words stay in the note too.

The commands it deliberately does not have

There is no “press enter”, no “send”, no “click that”, and no command that opens or closes an application. That is a deliberate limit rather than a missing feature.

A dictation app that can press Send will eventually press Send on half a sentence, in the wrong channel, because a colleague said something that sounded like the trigger. VoiceSnap Pro writes text and stops there; you stay in charge of the button that makes it public.
