Formatting Rules for How Dictation Lands on the Page
Set one style for every app, a built-in rule for email, and custom rules for the places that need their own voice.
Dictation should not sound the same in an email as it does in a chat. The Formatting screen is now split the way you already think about style: one default for All apps, a built-in Email rule, and Custom rules for the apps and sites that need their own.
Pick a style once. Then give the places that break that style a rule of their own.
One default, everywhere
All apps is the setting most people ever touch. Open it, pick a style, and every dictation follows it.
Standard gives you full capitals and punctuation. Casual keeps capitals and eases off the full stops. Lowercase drops capitals and keeps punctuation light.
Below the styles is Raw text, for when you want the transcript rather than a tidy version of it. Leave Raw text off and you also get Custom prompt: one or two lines on top of the style. "Use British English spelling." "Never start a sentence with So." "Keep sentences short."
Email gets its own rule
An inbox wants different handling from a chat window. Glaido ships a built-in Email rule, started on Gmail and Outlook on the web, with no apps attached until you add the ones you write mail in. You can switch it off. You cannot delete it.
Add the mail apps you actually use, and remove the sites you do not.
Custom rules for the rest
A custom rule is a style for particular apps and websites. Open Formatting, click Add rule, and name it something you will recognize. "Chat apps." "Writing code."
Click Add app and pick from your machine. Apps you have already dictated in come first, under Most used. The rest follow under All applications. Browsers are not in that list. Add the site itself under Websites.
The same three styles, Raw text, and Custom prompt sit on every rule. A rule's prompt sits on top of the All apps one, so you do not have to repeat yourself.
An app with no rule of its own uses All apps. An app that has one takes its style from that rule.
An app belongs to one rule. Hover a greyed-out place in the picker and Glaido names the rule that already has it.
Email has a switch, and so does every custom rule. Switch one off when you want to see whether it is the thing changing your text. All apps has no switch, because it is the default everything else stands on.
Set it, then dictate
Open the Formatting guide, set All apps, then add Email or a custom rule only where the default is wrong. The next dictation in that app uses the new style.
For rules you can copy as they are, see the setups for Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, and Slack.
