The Hyper preset applies post-processing to your dictation. You can control the output with your voice, and you do not touch the keyboard.

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.

Everyday Dictation Examples

  • “Let’s meet at 8pm actually I mean 9pm” → Let's meet at 9pm. Source: Self-correction rule.
  • “Can you email john at google dot com about this issue?” → Can you email john@google.com about this issue? Source: URL and email format rule, and Example 3.
  • “That’s pretty cool exclamation mark actually, that’s awesome” → That's pretty cool! Actually, that's awesome. Source: Punctuation-cue rule, and Example 2. HyperWhisper writes punctuation cues in place. It starts a new paragraph only when you say “new line” or “new paragraph” (see Quick Formatting Cues above).
