Snippets

Snippets are short trigger phrases you say while dictating that Amical replaces inline with longer text — addresses, signatures, email templates, anything you re-type often.

Dictate normally — "send the package to my home address please" — and the words "my home address" get swapped for whatever you've defined: a street address, a name and number, a multi-line block. The rest of the sentence flows around it untouched.

Where to find it

Settings → Snippets sits alongside Custom vocabulary. The editor takes the same shape: a list of entries, a button to add a new one, and a form for the trigger phrase and the expansion it should produce.

Each snippet has:

• A trigger phrase — the words you say to invoke it. Make these distinctive enough you won't say them by accident.
• An expansion — the text Amical types in place of the trigger. Plain text; dynamic placeholders aren't supported.

Practical tips

• Make triggers specific. "My home address" beats "address" because you're unlikely to say the full phrase mid-sentence by accident.
• Keep expansions tight when you can — long expansions make accidental triggers expensive to undo.
• Snippets are personal and live on your machine, the same way your vocabulary does.
