# The dictionary: names and words written your way

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

1. Open **Settings › Personalization** and scroll down to your words.
2. In **New word**, type the word exactly as you want to see it, with its capitals and accents. For example, "Huancayo".
3. 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

You say a phrase while you dictate and Loro types the whole text. Handy for your email, your address or your signature.

1. Under **Voice shortcuts**, in **When you say**, type the phrase. For example, "my phone".
2. In **I write**, type the full text.
3. Click **Add shortcut**.

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