Text replacements
A text replacement turns a short spoken phrase into the full text you use often — a signature, an address, a meeting link. Say the shortcut while dictating, and Letterly inserts the full text instead.
Say “my signature” → get “Best regards, Adam”.
If Letterly keeps misspelling one word — a name, a brand, a term — add it to your Dictionary instead.

Open Settings → Text replacements. You can also reach them from a note through the ⋯ menu.
Use a ready-made replacement
Letterly comes with a few templates: email address, signature, and Calendly link.
- Tap or click + next to the one you want to add.
- Edit the details — for example, replace Your Name in the signature with your own.
The email address template fills in the email connected to your Letterly account automatically.
Create your own
- Open Text replacements and tap or click Add new.
- Enter the shortcut — the phrase you will say out loud.
- Enter the full text Letterly should insert.
- Save.
Common ones people set up:
| Shortcut | Full text |
|---|---|
| my phone number | Your full phone number |
| my address | Your home or office address |
| meeting link | Your Zoom, Google Meet, or Calendly link |
| quick reply | A message you send often |
Choose a good shortcut
- Keep it short and natural to say — two or three words work best.
- Use a phrase you would not say by accident in an ordinary sentence.
- Say it exactly as you saved it. Letterly matches what it hears.
Where replacements apply
Replacements work on what you dictate — both in your notes and in Dictation, so the full text appears right in the app you are writing in.
Text replacements work on what you say, not on what you type. If you type a shortcut by hand in a note, Letterly leaves it as it is.
