Scout has a voice command for undoing text after it’s been injected.
Editing commands
| Say | What it does | Alternatives |
|---|
| ”undo that” | Sends Cmd+Z (macOS) or Ctrl+Z (Windows) to the focused app | ”scratch that” |
How “undo that” works
When you say “undo that,” Scout sends the operating system’s undo keystroke to whatever app is currently focused. This is the same as pressing Cmd+Z or Ctrl+Z on your keyboard.
“Undo that” sends the OS undo shortcut to the focused app. It undoes whatever is on that app’s undo stack — which may include non-Scout actions. For example, if you dictated text, then manually deleted something, saying “undo that” undoes the manual deletion, not the dictation.
It’s most useful immediately after dictating — if the text came out wrong, say “undo that” to remove it and try again.
For more powerful editing
If you need to rewrite, reformat, or transform text rather than just undo it, use Magic Edit. Select the text, hold the Magic Edit hotkey, and speak an instruction like “make this more formal” or “fix the grammar.”
