Quickly Switching Enhancement Prompts

On-the-Fly Prompt Switching

VoiceInk provides a fast and intuitive way to switch between your different enhancement prompts using keyboard shortcuts. This allows you to change the AI's behavior mid-workflow without interrupting your train of thought.

This functionality is available when the Mini Recorder window is active.

How It Works

While the Mini Recorder is open, you can use the Command key in combination with the number keys (1 through 0) to select an enhancement prompt.

Command + 1: Activates the first enhancement prompt in your list.
Command + 2: Activates the second prompt.
Command + 3: Activates the third prompt, and so on up to Command + 0 for the tenth prompt.

Key Behaviors

Automatic Enablement: If AI Enhancement is currently turned off, using one of these shortcuts will automatically enable it and select the corresponding prompt.
Order is Key: The number corresponds to the order of the prompts in your list in the Enhancement tab in the sidebar.
Mini Recorder Focus: These shortcuts are only active when the Mini Recorder is visible.

Trigger Word Activation

In addition to keyboard shortcuts, you can also activate specific enhancement prompts using Trigger Words. This allows for a more natural, voice-driven way to switch prompts.

Toggling Enhancement

You can also quickly toggle the AI Enhancement feature on or off without selecting a new prompt.

Command + E: Toggles the main Enable Enhancement switch on or off.

Use Case Example

Suppose you have the following enhancement prompts set up:

Default (For general text cleanup)
Assistant (For asking questions)
Summarize (To create summaries)
Translate to Spanish (For translation)

During a recording session, you can:

Start by dictating normally with the Default prompt active (Command + 1).
Need to ask a quick question? Press Command + 2 to switch to Assistant mode and speak your query.
Want to summarize the last paragraph you wrote? Press Command + 3 to activate the Summarize prompt.
Finished with enhancements for now? Press Command + E to toggle them off completely.

These shortcuts make the enhancement features incredibly powerful, allowing you to fluidly move between different AI behaviors as your needs change.
