Predefined prompts

Nexo Whisper includes 8 enhancement prompts ready to use. Each one transforms the transcription in a different way.

Select the active prompt from the Nexo Whisper panel or with shortcuts ⌘1 to ⌘8.

System Default

The most versatile prompt. Ideal for general use.

What it does: cleans filler words, transcription errors, and repetitions while keeping the original meaning. Doesn't change register or style — if you speak casually, it stays casual.

When to use: for any text where you don't want the tone to change, just to be clean.

Example:

• Input: "so... basically I wanted to say that uh the project is going well and like we're almost done"
• Output: "The project is going well and we're almost done."

Chat

What it does: formats text for casual conversation. May add emojis and ellipsis. Friendly tone.

When to use: WhatsApp, informal Slack, Discord.

Email

What it does: formats text as a professional email. Adds greeting, structures paragraphs, closes with signature if applicable.

When to use: Gmail, Outlook, any email client.

Example:

• Input: "tell john that wednesday doesn't work and if thursday works better"
• Output:

Hi John,

I wanted to let you know that Wednesday won't work for me. Would we be able to move the meeting to Thursday?

Best regards

Rewrite

What it does: rewrites text for better clarity, eliminating ambiguities and improving sentence structure.

When to use: when you dictated quickly and the result was confusing. Doesn't change the message, just the form.

Formal

What it does: elevates the register to formal/professional level. Useful for contracts, technical documentation, institutional communications.

When to use: emails to corporate clients, legal documents, reports.

Coding

What it does: interprets dictation as code instructions. Uses backticks for inline code, code blocks with the correct language, follows naming conventions.

When to use: dictation in Cursor, VS Code, or any editor. You can dictate code, technical comments, or commit messages.

Example:

• Input: "function that receives an array of strings and returns those that start with uppercase"
• Output:

  typescriptCopiar
  function getCapitalized(items: string[]): string[] {
    return items.filter(item => /^[A-Z]/.test(item));
  }
  

Summary

What it does: converts a long dictation into 3–5 actionable bullets. Ideal for meeting notes or quick brainstorming.

When to use: after a meeting, to summarize a long dictation.

Fun

What it does: rewrites text with personality, humor, and creativity. Not suitable for serious environments.

When to use: social media posts, informal messages where you want more life.
