What are Threads?
Threads are text replacement rules. When you speak a trigger phrase, Vowen automatically replaces it with your configured text in the transcription output.Creating a Thread
- Open the Vowen app and click Dictionary in the left sidebar
- Switch to the Threads tab
- Click + Add Thread
- Enter the trigger (what you say, or what the model outputs)
- Enter the replacement (what you want instead)
- Save
Examples
| Trigger (What You Say) | Replacement (What Gets Pasted) |
|---|---|
| “my address” | 1234 Example Street, Sample City, ST 00000 |
| ”my email” | john.doe@company.com |
| ”post gress” | PostgreSQL |
| ”thanks template” | Thank you for your email. I’ll review this and get back to you by end of day. |
How It Works
- You speak your phrase normally
- The model transcribes it (e.g., “post gress”)
- After transcription, Vowen scans for trigger matches
- Matching text is replaced before pasting (e.g., “PostgreSQL”)
Priority
When multiple threads could match, the longest trigger takes priority. This prevents shorter triggers from accidentally matching parts of longer ones.Use Cases
- Correct consistent misspellings: “cube nets” → “Kubernetes”
- Paste boilerplate text: “my signature” → your full email signature
- Insert links: “portfolio link” → “yourportfolio.com”
- Abbreviation expansion: “ETD” → “estimated time of delivery”
- Name corrections: “john smith” → “Jon Smyth” (if the model always gets it wrong)
Threads vs Dictionary vs Text Expander
| Feature | When to Use |
|---|---|
| Dictionary | Model doesn’t recognize a word at all |
| Threads | Model recognizes but misspells, or you want phrase → text replacement via voice |
| Text Expander | You want typed triggers (:shortcut) to expand while typing |
