Voice macros

With voice macros you speak short triggers (e.g., "macro one") and the app automatically replaces them with a full command text (expansion). That text is then parsed just like Voice input via keyboard — i.e., into title, description, date, time.

1) Purpose & principle

  • Trigger → Expansion → Parsing
    1) You speak the trigger.
    2) The app replaces it with the stored expansion text.
    3) The parser extracts title/description/date/time from it.
  • Example:
    Trigger: macro 1 → Expansion: Title Shopping Description Milk and bread Date tomorrow Time 6 pm.

2) Overview (list)

  • Search: filters by name/trigger.
  • Filter chips: All · Active · Inactive.
  • New macro: + (bottom right) or the "Create macro" button in the empty state.
  • Entry shows:
  • Name (left) and status dot (green = active, gray = inactive).
  • Trigger (e.g., macro 1).
  • Preview: brief preview of how the expansion text would be parsed.
  • "Active" switch to quickly toggle on/off.
  • Menu (⋮): edit/delete (depending on version).

3) Create/edit macro

  • Name (for you)
    Internal title, freely selectable.
  • Trigger (spoken)
    Short, unambiguous words. Avoid terms that are easily confused; speak clearly.
  • Expansion (full command text)
    Write the complete voice command here as it should be dictated.
    Supported keywords (any order, fields optional):
  • Title ...
  • Description ...
  • Date ... – e.g., today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, on 22 Oct, on Wednesday.
  • Time ... – e.g., 6 pm, 07:15.
    Example expansion:
    Title Shopping Description Milk and bread Date tomorrow Time 6 pm
  • Active: make the macro available immediately.
  • Preview parsing
    Shows live what the parser currently derives from the expansion (title/description/date/time).
  • Save / Cancel.

4) Usage

  • Dictate in the app (e.g., in the Voice input via keyboard dialog).
  • Speak exactly the trigger → the app replaces it with the expansion and takes over the recognized fields.
  • Then quickly review and save.

5) Manage

  • Toggle Active/Inactive via the switch in the list.
  • Edit/Delete via the entry's ⋮ menu.
  • Filter: All, Active or Inactive.
  • Search: find by name/trigger.

6) Tips

  • Choose unambiguous triggers (e.g., "macro one", "meeting template") and test them first.
  • Write a robust expansion: clear words, 24-hour time (e.g., 14:30), avoid unnecessary filler words.
  • Multiple fields are possible; not all are mandatory (e.g., only Title + Time).
  • If something is not recognized properly: check Preview and adjust the expansion.
