Raw dictation: punctuation and capitalization

Why Weesper adds punctuation

By default, Weesper Neon Flow is optimized to produce readable text: emails, notes, messages, reports, or documents. In these workflows, automatic punctuation and correct capitalization make the text feel more natural.

But some workflows need the opposite:

• terminal commands;
• file paths;
• test passwords;
• emails or identifiers;
• prompts for development tools;
• text to paste into VS Code or an IDE.

In these cases, a final period or automatically added capital letter can change the meaning of the text.

Use the most literal mode available

If your version offers a context preset or profile such as Literal transcription, Literal dictation, or Raw text, try it first.

This mode asks Weesper Neon Flow to stay closer to what you say and to reword less. It does not always guarantee a complete absence of punctuation, but it reduces automatic corrections in many cases.

Best practices for terminal and code

For technical commands:

• dictate short fragments;
• always review before running a command;
• avoid directly dictating destructive commands;
• prefer pasting into an intermediate text field if the command is sensitive;
• use the dictionary to correct frequent terms, paths, or project names.

Example: if Weesper often transcribes npm run build. with a final period, you can add a dictionary correction when this behavior is repetitive.

What is not yet a true voice command system

The dictionary can replace words or phrases after transcription, but Weesper Neon Flow does not yet interpret advanced contextual commands such as:

• “delete the last word”;
• “select the previous line”;
• “make this passage bold”;
• “run this command”.

For these needs, use Weesper Neon Flow as a text input tool, then check the result in the target app.

If you need fully raw dictation

Contact support and describe your workflow. The most useful requests are concrete:

• “I dictate into a terminal”;
• “I dictate test identifiers”;
• “I dictate prompts for a coding assistant”;
• “I want to remove final periods but keep commas”.

This helps us prioritize the most important formatting options.
