Dictionary and snippets

Build your personal dictionary#

1. Add a term

   Add a name, product, abbreviation, or specialist term that the speech engine should recognize more reliably.

2. Add a correction when needed

   Map a recurring wrong form to the exact text you want TypeWhisper to use.

3. Test with the active engine

   Local engines differ in vocabulary support. Run a short test and adjust recognition strength or the correction when available.

Create a snippet#

1. Choose a memorable trigger

   Use a short phrase that is unlikely to occur accidentally, such as meeting link or support signature.

2. Write the replacement

   Enter the complete text and decide whether matching should be case-sensitive.

3. Insert dynamic values

   Add date, time, date and time, or clipboard placeholders from the editor chips.

4. Use it after dictation

   Say or type the trigger. TypeWhisper expands it after transcription or from the voice keyboard.

• {{DATE}}
• {{TIME}}
• {{DATETIME}}
• {{CLIPBOARD}}
• {{DATE:yyyy-MM-dd}}

Sync only when you want to#

Dictionary and snippets work locally without an account or subscription. Premium can sync them between signed-in TypeWhisper installations through automatic iCloud or a cloud folder selected with Apple's Files picker.

Import and export the dictionary#

1. Open the menu in the Dictionary tab

   Tap the menu at the top right and choose Import from Another App.

2. Choose the file

   TypeWhisper reads TypeWhisper JSON, compatible JSON, Wispr Flow-compatible CSV, and plain text lists.

3. Check the preview

   The preview shows the detected format, the terms and corrections that are ready to import, duplicates, invalid rows, and the first entries.

4. Import

   Existing entries and duplicates stay unchanged. The import runs entirely on the device.

• Export Dictionary in the same menu saves your entries as a JSON file.
