Raw mode
No processing at all. The text appears exactly as transcribed by Whisper. Useful when you want full control over the result.
💡
Raw mode is ideal for languages poorly supported by the LLM, or when you want to dictate exact technical content.
Auto mode (default)
VoxWave detects the active application and adapts cleanup automatically:
- VS Code and terminals: regex only (no LLM, no rephrasing)
- Slack and Discord: light cleanup (removes hesitations, keeps conversational style)
- Word and Outlook: professional rephrasing (grammar, punctuation, formal tone)
Application profiles
VoxWave recognizes 40+ applications and groups them into 4 profiles, each with an appropriate cleanup level:
- Code: VS Code, terminals, IDEs — regex only
- Casual: Slack, Discord, Telegram — light LLM cleanup
- Email: Outlook, Thunderbird — professional LLM cleanup
- Document: Word, LibreOffice, Notion — full LLM cleanup
