Dictionary and snippets

Dictionary

Your dictionary makes names, product terms and acronyms come out right every time. Open Dictation › Dictionary.

Add a word:

1. Type the Word the way it should be written (for example Everycloud).
2. Optional: add Sounds like spellings, comma separated (for example every cloud, every clout). These are the misheard versions Cloud should fix.
3. Choose Personal (stays on this Mac) or Shared (for your team, when team sharing is available).
4. Click Add.

Each word shows its other spellings. You can star a word or remove it.

Learn new words by itself

With Settings › Learn new words by itself on (default), Cloud tries to learn when you fix a word right after dictating it.

Coming soon (PR G)

Today this can miss single corrections. PR G makes correction learning reliable: it watches the text it just typed for up to about 45 seconds, spots the word you changed (for example Jeff → Jev), adds it to your dictionary and shows a small "Learned" toast. The new word then helps both recognition and cleanup on your next dictation.

Snippets

Snippets type a fixed text when you say a phrase. No AI, so they're instant. Open Dictation › Snippets and choose Add new:

• When I say: the phrase, for example "my calendar link".
• Type this: text, a link, or several lines.
• Works when: anywhere in a sentence or it's all I say.
• Used in these apps: every app, or only some (by bundle ID, for example com.figma.Desktop).

Click Save snippet, then try it: hold fn and say it.
