MORE THAN PUNCTUATION
Make the words work for you.
“Scratch that”
Say it on its own to undo the last sentence Wisp inserted. Wisp first checks that the text is still exactly what it typed. “Delete that” and “undo that” are also recognized.
Your own snippet triggers
Save a phrase such as “insert my sign-off” in Snippets. Say the trigger as the whole dictation to insert your saved text.
Set up snippets →“Make this friendlier”
Select text and press the command-mode shortcut before giving an instruction. Review the rewritten text before replacement. This is a separate AI action, not a punctuation command.
