Snaply gives dictation two input styles:
  • Automatic for natural speech
  • Explicit when you want to say punctuation and structure out loud

​
Choose A Mode

Explicit punctuation is documented in the app as an English-first workflow. In other languages, Snaply reverts to automatic punctuation behavior.

​
Automatic Punctuation

  • Best for normal prose, messages, and most email dictation
  • Works well across English and Multi-language dictation
  • Handles capitalization and punctuation for you
  • Can format longer email-style dictation when Snaply detects an email

​
Explicit Punctuation

  • Best for exact line breaks, lists, symbols, and manual formatting
  • Lets you speak commands like comma, new line, or open parenthesis
  • Does not apply automatic email polishing
  • Works best in English

​
Change The Setting

Go to Settings -> Dictation -> Punctuation behaviour and choose Automatic or Explicit.

Practical Advice

  • Use Automatic unless you need very deliberate structure.
  • Use Explicit for lists, symbols, or formatting-heavy dictation.
  • Brief pauses help Automatic mode place sentence boundaries cleanly.
