# Teach Wisp the words you use.

Use a dictionary for names and terms, and snippets for the whole phrases you repeat.

## Add a name to the Dictionary

Open Dictionary and choose Add word. Enter what Wisp hears and what it should write instead. It is useful for people, products, specialist terms, and the names in your own projects.

## Use a snippet for an entire reply

Open Snippets and choose Add snippet. Give it a short spoken trigger such as “insert my sign-off”, and save the full text you want. The trigger must match the whole dictation; it does not expand inside an unrelated sentence.

## Choose the right cleanup level

None keeps the recognized words. Standard uses local rules for fillers, stutters, and supported formatting. Smart can resolve self-corrections using Apple Intelligence when available. Try a short example before relying on a new setting.

## Keep vocabulary on your Mac

Your dictionary and snippets are stored locally alongside Wisp’s history and usage counts. You can remove entries in the app. They do not become a shared team dictionary or sync through a Wisp account.
