# Voice Dictation

Talk naturally. Nibit cleans it up.

Android already does voice-to-text. Nibit goes further — it removes the filler words, handles self-corrections, and gives you clean prose. Not a transcript. Something you can send straight to email or Slack without editing.

## Where to use it

**From the keyboard** — tap the **microphone** icon in the Nibit keyboard bottom tray. Speak, and the result is inserted into the active text field.

**In snippet arguments** — when a snippet has fill-in fields, a mic button appears to dictate each value by voice. For multi-field snippets you can say the field name followed by the value in one pass.

**In quick link arguments** — same as snippets: a mic button appears next to argument fields so you can fill in URL parameters by voice.

**In transform arguments** — transforms with argument placeholders also support voice fill-in.

## Dictation modes

Choose your mode based on how much cleanup you want. Change it in **Settings → Voice → Dictation mode**.

### Transcribe
Raw speech-to-text with no rewriting. What you said, as you said it — punctuation and casing added, nothing else changed. Use this when you want the verbatim transcript.

### Cleanup *(default)*
Adds punctuation, fixes casing, and applies light grammar corrections. Feels like typing — your words, cleaned up. Good for most everyday use.

### Clarify
Everything in Cleanup, plus filler word removal ("um", "uh", "like") and light clarity edits. Self-corrections are handled — if you say "send it to — actually, forward it to John" you get "forward it to John". Good for messages and emails where you want to sound polished without a full rewrite.

### Polish
Full AI rewrite while keeping your voice and meaning. Restructures sentences for flow and clarity. Best for longer content — emails, notes, drafts — where you want a send-ready result on the first pass.

## Silence detection

Nibit stops recording automatically after a short pause in speech.
