# Snippets

> Spoken shortcuts that expand into text you type often.

A snippet is a phrase you say that expands into text you use often. Say the short version, Rekody types the long one.

## Examples

* Say "my work email", get `you@yourcompany.com`.
* Say "meeting sign-off", get your standard closing lines.
* Say "my address", get your full mailing address.

## How you trigger one

Say "slash" followed by the trigger, anywhere in a sentence: "send it over slash sig" types your signature in place, with the rest of the sentence untouched. It is forgiving about punctuation, so "slash sig." expands too, and the literal form `/sig` works if your dictation produces it. Saying just the trigger phrase on its own also expands.

The trigger has to stand as its own word: "backslash sig" and "slash sigmoid" stay exactly as you said them.

## Multi-line snippets

Snippets can span multiple lines, so a single spoken phrase can expand into a formatted block: an email signature, a code review checklist, a standup template.

## When to reach for a snippet

* You dictate the same block of text more than a few times a week.
* The text is fiddly to say out loud (emails, addresses, URLs).
* You want a consistent template to start from, then dictate the rest.

<Tip>
  Snippets and the [Dictionary](/app/dictionary) solve different problems. The Dictionary keeps single terms from being misheard. Snippets replace a spoken phrase with entirely different, longer text.
