Voice Commands
Speak punctuation, symbols, formatting, @mentions, and #hashtags instead of typing them.
While dictating, you can say certain phrases and AsPeach will convert them into the corresponding punctuation, symbol, or action. There are two types of commands:
- Multi-word commands — no prefix needed. These phrases are unique enough that they won't trigger accidentally.
- Single-word commands — require saying "peach" before the command. This prevents false triggers (e.g., the word "period" in normal speech wouldn't become a dot).
Multi-Word Commands (No Prefix Needed)
Just say these phrases naturally while speaking. AsPeach replaces them with the corresponding character:
| You say | AsPeach types |
|---|---|
| "new line" or "next line" | Line break (↵) |
| "new paragraph" | Two line breaks (paragraph break) |
| "full stop" | . |
| "question mark" | ? |
| "exclamation mark" or "exclamation point" | ! |
| "open quote" | " |
| "close quote" | " |
| "open parenthesis" | ( |
| "close parenthesis" | ) |
| "dot dot dot" | ... |
Example: "I need to talk to you about the project new paragraph First, the timeline has changed full stop"
Result: "I need to talk to you about the project
First, the timeline has changed."
Single-Word Commands (Say "Peach" First)
These commands use common words that would cause false triggers if always converted. To use them, say "peach" followed by the command:
| You say | AsPeach types |
|---|---|
| "peach period" | . |
| "peach comma" | , |
| "peach colon" | : |
| "peach semicolon" | ; |
| "peach dash" | — (em dash) |
| "peach hyphen" | - |
| "peach ellipsis" | ... |
Phonetic matching: Whisper sometimes hears "beach", "pitch", "reach", "teach", or "speech" instead of "peach". AsPeach recognizes all of these as the "peach" trigger — so you don't need to pronounce it perfectly.

Formatting Commands
Toggle text formatting by saying:

- "peach italic" — Wraps following text in italic markers.
- "peach underline" — Wraps following text in underline markers.
- "peach strikethrough" — Wraps following text in strikethrough markers.
Mentions & Tags
When Mentions & Tags is enabled in Settings (it is by default), you can insert @mentions and #hashtags by voice:
- "peach mention John" → @John
- "peach hashtag marketing" → #marketing
Perfect for Slack, Twitter/X, GitHub, or any app where @ and # symbols are used. Toggle this in Settings → General → Mentions & Tags.
List Detection
If you use ordinal words like "first... second... third..." while speaking, AsPeach automatically formats them as a numbered list with line breaks between items.
Example: "First, send the email. Second, update the spreadsheet. Third, call the client."
Result:
- Send the email.
- Update the spreadsheet.
- Call the client.
Non-English Voice Commands
Voice commands also work in Hebrew and partially in other languages. Examples:
- Hebrew: "שורה חדשה" → line break, "סימן שאלה" → ?, "נקודה" (with peach prefix) → .
