Examples

Some single-word aliases like “pipe,” “arrow,” and “ellipsis” work best at natural boundaries to avoid false triggers when these words appear in normal speech. Multi-word alternatives like “pipe sign,” “arrow sign,” and “triple dot” are more reliable inline.
Programming symbols like ->, =>, and :: make dictating code much faster. Combine them with case transforms like snake case or camel case for full variable names.
