Dictionary & Quick Fix

Registering the technical terms and proper nouns you use often improves dictation accuracy. And when a word is dictated incorrectly, you can fix it right where it is and add it to the dictionary immediately with Quick Fix.

Manage topic-based word groups under Settings → Dictionary. Each set has:

  • words — injected as STT recognition hints, and at the same time used as the glossary for AI correction.
  • correction mappings — original → corrected rules. Applied only during the AI correction step (not applied to STT).
  • A per-set on/off toggle and word/mapping counts.

You can also add default sets in one shot: “IT/Dev” (~40 dev terms), “Statistics” (~24 statistics terms), and an empty “Custom”.

Quick Fix — instant correction + registration

Section titled “Quick Fix — instant correction + registration”

When you spot a misrecognized word, fix it right away without having to dictate again.

  1. Select the text to fix in any app.
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+D. (default shortcut)
  3. Whispree grabs the selected text and opens a panel. Enter the correct word/mapping.
  4. Press Enter to save: the text in the target app is replaced and registered in the dictionary at the same time. (Esc to cancel.)

Two modes:

  • Add mapping (default selection) — saves original → corrected as an AI correction mapping (not applied to STT).
  • Add word — adds the word to both the STT and AI correction dictionaries.

Registered items collect in an auto-created “Quick Fix” word set.

Turning on Dictionary sync (off by default) under Settings → General syncs your word sets and Quick Fix words to iCloud Drive (or a JSON path you specify directly — Dropbox/Syncthing, etc.). Manual sync is also available via the “Import now / Export now” buttons. Useful for sharing the same dictionary across multiple Macs.
