Saying “add comment” by itself will create a blank comment box that can be manually typed into. Saying “add comment look at this tomorrow” will insert a new comment with the text “Look at this tomorrow” inside it. Try phrases like “bold last word” or “underline last sentence.” An example would be dictating “review by tomorrow at 5PM”, then saying “bold tomorrow” which would leave you with "review by tomorrow at 5PM." You can bold, italicize, underline, or strikethrough a word or phrase. Saying “delete that” removes the last spoken utterance.Īn example of using would be dictating “what a super nice day” and then saying “delete super.” You would then be left with the phrase "what a nice day." Saying “delete” by itself removes the last word or punctuation before the cursor. Other supported punctuation, commands, and symbols are below.
