How it writes in Terminal

The Code style, picked for you.

Perfect Dictation sees that you are in Terminal and writes the way code and commits are written. Change it any time, or make a style of your own.

Code style automatic in Terminal

  • Comments and commit messages in the usual shape
  • Code words kept exact: names, flags, paths
  • Terminal commands written as commands, not sentences
  • Nothing runs by itself: you press Enter

Want it different? Make your own style in plain words, like "keep it under three short sentences".

Handy in Terminal

Three things worth knowing.

All of them work in every app, and none of them needs a plugin.

Right Ctrl + Shift

Rewrite what you wrote

Select text you already typed, hold both keys and say how to change it: "make this friendlier", "shorter".

Ctrl + Z

Undo in one key

Not what you meant? Ctrl+Z takes it back like any typing, and History keeps a copy you can paste again.

Teach once

Names spelled right

Fix a name once in History and it is spelled that way from then on: people, products, your company.

Also in the Code style

Same style, other apps.

Every app with a text box works. These get a style picked for them automatically.

Questions

Perfect Dictation and Terminal.

Do I need a Terminal plugin?

No. Perfect Dictation types into whatever window has your cursor, so there is nothing to install in Terminal and nothing to connect.

Does it read my Terminal code?

No. It only sees the app's name, to pick the style. It never reads what is on screen, and your words are not kept on our servers.

Can I change the style for Terminal?

Yes. Pick any style for Terminal in Settings, or write your own in plain words and it is used there from then on.
