Quick Formatting Cues
The other cues on this page are judgments of the LLM. The cues “new line” and “new paragraph” are different: HyperWhisper matches them exactly and starts a new paragraph. These two cues work on macOS and Windows, also when AI Post-Processing is Off.
Code Dictation Vocabulary
In a code-focused mode, the prompt builder understands more spoken symbols and format commands:- Brackets & operators — “open paren”/“close paren”, “open bracket”/“close bracket”, “open brace”/“close brace”, “equals equals”, “not equals”, “arrow” (
->), “fat arrow” (=>), “double ampersand”, “double pipe”. HyperWhisper changes these spoken names, and similar names, to their symbols. - Case formatting — “camel case”, “pascal case”, “snake case”, “screaming snake” (or “constant case”), and “kebab case” change the case of the words that follow.
- Structure commands — “indent” and “dedent” (or “outdent”) change the indentation level. “space” and “no space” add or remove the space around the next word. “tab” adds a tab character. “new line” and “new paragraph” start a new paragraph, as in Quick Formatting Cues above.
