Command Mode (rewrite selection)
Select text, dictate how to change it — formal, shorter, translate, and more.
Command Mode demo (18 s).
Before you start
- Cloud engine, signed in, text copied or selected.
Steps
- 1
Desktop: highlight text in any app. Mobile: copy text to clipboard.
- 2
Mac/Windows: open Command Mode from HUD menu or dedicated hotkey. Mobile: tap Command mode on Dictation tab.
- 3
Speak the edit: "make this formal", "shorten to two sentences", "fix grammar".
- 4
FlyType sends selection + command to cloud transform API.
- 5
Result replaces selection (desktop) or lands on clipboard (mobile) — paste if needed.
Common mistakes
- Custom transforms in Settings sync from Hub — create reusable commands.
- Privacy mode may block cloud transforms.
