Custom Phrases

[PIVOTAgile]

I love the ability to add custom words. So far those have been helpful both for company name and for abbreviations / initialisms. Sometimes, though, I want the ability to have custom phrases so I can indicate that a certain multi-part word or phrase is a proper noun and should be capitalized.

I need this too, I would like that when I say "Slash Think" it translates to "/think" just setting up some mapping would be cool

I think this would be nice as well, not only for things like "slash think" becoming /think but setting That specific audio is translated into specific text. I run into the issue that I have a friend named Nico. so I added that work to the custom word list. Now any time I say nice it writes Nico. Similar thing happens with a friend named Rin and it writing Rin anytime I say run or ran.

I had a similar idea.
I use a +20yo keyboard because it has near 50 function and programmable keys that I have programmed with common phrases or email addresses, etc. Likewise on mobile I have short codes, three letter sequences, that do the same.

I'd love to be able to do something similar with spoken phrases using Handy. For instance:

• 'Insert business email'
• 'Insert private email'
• 'Insert spam email'
  Or record letter sequences that don't spell words to do much the same thing. For these I would record the phrases 'IBE', 'IPE', 'ISE', Which Handy has helpfully transcribed here as sequences of letters.

I am now using Handy for the majority of my typing, excepting creative works, where the intermediate speed of typing aids in my future storytelling. Thank you, therefore, for creating such a useful tool that can be used offline, for continuing in its development, and providing it free of charge. Though I have, I admit, sent some funds your way. Many thanks.

You should fork it!

Could be doable with #930

Bumping this — the single-word limitation is still present. Being able to add multi-word phrases (e.g. "machine learning", "pull request", proper names like "John Smith") as custom vocabulary hints would make this feature significantly more useful. Would love to see this land! 🙏
