Voice commands
While you dictate with Speechy on your Mac, you can say punctuation like “comma” and “question mark”, start a new line, and fix mistakes with “scratch that” or “delete last three words”. Commands run on your Mac by fixed rules, so they work the same way every time.
How to use Voice commands
Say punctuation
Say “comma”, “period”, “question mark” or “colon” where you want it.
Break the lines
Say “new line” or “new paragraph”.
Take it back
“Scratch that” drops your last sentence; “delete last two words” drops words.
Make a word loud
Say “all caps” before a word to type it in capitals.
What you say, what it types
SlackYou say
“ship it on friday scratch that ship it on monday”
It types
Ship it on Monday.
NotionYou say
“call me tomorrow afternoon delete last word”
It types
Call me tomorrow.
GmailYou say
“this is all caps urgent please review it today”
It types
This is URGENT please review it today.
Questions
No. “Period”, “comma”, “colon” and “hyphen” only become punctuation at the end of a phrase, so “the trial period ends Friday” stays as words.
Say “delete last word”, or a number up to ten, like “delete last four words”.
No. They run by fixed rules on your Mac, before any polish.
Yes. Press ⌘⌥Z within 5 minutes and Speechy removes what it just typed.
