Using Voicy

Remove “um” and “uh” from your text

Ask Voicy to leave out hesitation words when it formats your dictation.

On this page

Voicy can remove hesitation words such as “um” and “uh” from your finished text. This can make a spoken message easier to read.

Turn filler-word removal on

  1. Open Voicy → Settings.
  2. Turn on Punctuation commands.
  3. Find Remove filler words below it and turn it on.

The setting is off by default on a new installation. You can turn it off again in the same place.

Try it

  1. Open a note and start a recording.
  2. Say a short sentence with a hesitation, such as “I would, um, like to meet tomorrow.”
  3. Stop recording.
  4. Check that the finished sentence keeps your meaning without the hesitation word.

AI formatting can sometimes make other changes as well. Read the result, especially when the exact wording matters. A selected Custom Mode may also have its own instructions about simplifying text.
