Smart formatting & tone
Smart formatting and the right tone in every app
Smart Formatting cleans up dictation before it's pasted: it removes filler words, applies your corrections and fixes punctuation, and never translates. Tone by app then adapts the wording to where you're typing — Messages, Work, Email or Other — with Formal, Casual or Very casual for each.
How it works
Three steps. That’s it.
01.
Turn on Smart Formatting
It's on in the Style page; without it, dictation is pasted exactly as transcribed.
02.
Set tone by app
Choose Formal, Casual or Very casual for Messages, Work, Email and everything else.
03.
Just talk
TapWisper detects the app you're in and applies the matching tone.
Details
What you should know.
- Messages
- WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Signal and Discord — casual by default.
- Work
- Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Linear, Jira and code editors — casual by default.
- Mail, Outlook, Gmail and Spark — formal by default.
- Corrections applied
- When you correct yourself mid-sentence, the correction is applied instead of typing both versions.
FAQ
Good questions.
Does TapWisper remove “um” and “uh”?
Yes. Smart Formatting removes filler words and fixes punctuation automatically.
Can I keep dictation word-for-word?
Yes. Turn Smart Formatting off and text is pasted exactly as transcribed.
