Snippets & Templates
Create voice-triggered shortcuts for text you use frequently.
What Are Snippets?
Snippets are voice-triggered text templates. Speak a trigger phrase and LotusQ expands it into the full saved text, perfect for email sign-offs, scheduling links, code boilerplate, and more.
Creating a Snippet
Open Snippets from the sidebar and click Add Snippet:
- • Trigger: The voice phrase that activates the snippet (e.g., "intro email")
- • Content: The full text to insert (supports multi-line)
Examples
🎤 "intro email"
Hi, I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to reach out regarding...
🎤 "meeting link"
Join the meeting: https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij
🎤 "react component"
export default function Component() {
return <div>Hello</div>;
}How Matching Works
When you finish dictating, LotusQ checks if the entire transcription matches a snippet trigger (case-insensitive). If it does, the snippet content replaces the dictation.
💡 Keep triggers short and unique to avoid accidental matches.
