App-specific profiles are available on Mac. They are configured from the Buttons
view; the iPhone and iPad app does not assign profiles to apps.
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 Buttons
Open Vox and select Buttons in the left sidebar. Profiles are configured here,
not in Settings.
2
Create and select a profile
At the top of the Buttons view, open the profile menu 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.
3
Assign the profile to an app
In the App-specific profiles row, click Assign, then Add app. Choose the
app and select the profile it should use.
4
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.
