What a profile can change
Profiles currently change button mappings and the voice commands attached to those mappings. They do not change vocabulary, punctuation, or dictation formatting.Creating a profile
1
Open Settings
Open Vox and select Buttons.
2
Add a profile and pick an app
Open the profile menu at the top of the Buttons view and choose New Profile….
Name the profile and choose whether to start with the stock mappings or duplicate
another profile. Select a profile from the same menu to configure it, and click
Set as default when it should be used everywhere without an app-specific match.
To assign it to an app, click Assign, add the app, and choose the profile for
that app.
3
Adjust the settings you want to differ
Anything you do not change falls back to your default settings.
How Vox picks a profile
The profile follows the frontmost app. Switch apps and the profile switches with you, with no action needed. If no profile matches the app you are in, your default settings apply. Profiles are assigned to apps, identified by their application bundle. A browser profile therefore applies to the browser app, not to an individual website.Profiles worth setting up
Terminal or code editor
Terminal or code editor
Turn off auto-capitalisation and auto-punctuation. Add your project names,
function names, and CLI tools to the vocabulary.
Email
Leave punctuation on. This is where you want the most formatting help.
Slack or chat
Slack or chat
There is no separate built-in chat profile. Create one only if you want different
button mappings or voice commands for a chat app.
