The dictionary: names and words written your way
The Loro team
In short
In Settings › Personalization, under your words, type a new word (a name, a place, a brand) and click Add: Loro always writes it that way, when you dictate and in your call notes. Voice shortcuts type a whole text when you say a phrase, like "my email". Your dictionary is saved only on your computer.
Your words
- Open Settings › Personalization and scroll down to your words.
- In New word, type the word exactly as you want to see it, with its capitals and accents. For example, "Huancayo".
- Click Add.
On your calls, these words also help Loro get names right. To remove one, click the × next to it.
Loro also learns on its own
- From your corrections: if you fix a name after dictating, Loro adds it and the pill says "Learned “…” · in your dictionary". You can turn it off with Learn from your corrections.
- From your meetings: under From your meetings, Loro suggests names it heard on your calls or that are on your calendar. Click Add, Ignore or Add all.
Voice shortcuts

- Under Voice shortcuts, in When you say, type the phrase. For example, "my phone".

Voice shortcuts are only used when you dictate, not in your call notes.
