Spokenly offers two punctuation handling options:
- Intelligent Punctuation in the Cloud: When you choose a cloud-based model such as Whisper Large v3 or GPT-4o, the system will automatically recognize pauses and intonation in speech and intelligently add punctuation such as commas and periods, with an accuracy rate of 90% or more. This is the simplest way.
- Local models + AI hints: Required when using the native Whisper model:
- Enable "AI Text Optimization" in Settings
- Add customized prompts such as "convert 'comma' in speech to ','", "convert 'exclamation point' to '!"
- Speak with clear punctuation intent, e.g., "It's a beautiful day exclamation point"
Practical use recommendations: for formal documents, cloud-based models are recommended; manual punctuation is acceptable for privacy-sensitive content, or secondary processing with AI prompts.
