History
The History page keeps a searchable record of your recent transcriptions and the text TypeWhisper has produced. It also turns the edits you make into correction suggestions that can feed your dictionary.
History stores your transcriptions so you can search and review recent results. The search box matches against the final text, the original raw transcription, and the source app name. An App filter narrows the timeline to entries from a single application (the filter list is built from the apps that appear in your history).
You can export the entries currently shown to CSV, Markdown, JSON, or plain text.
Play caveat: an entry's Play button only works while its session WAV still exists on disk. Because dictation WAVs are deleted on shutdown, this is generally limited to entries from the same session.
Note: History can contain personal or sensitive transcribed text. Treat it like any other record of what you have dictated, and use the retention controls below if you do not want transcriptions stored indefinitely.
History retention is configured on the Advanced page, with modes Duration (default 90 days), Forever, or Until app closes, plus a Save to history toggle for runs you do not want stored. See Advanced settings for the full set of retention controls.
TypeWhisper generates correction suggestions from the edits you make to entries in history. These suggestions can optionally be auto-learned into your dictionary, and they carry confidence scoring so you can judge how reliable a suggested correction is.
To have corrections saved to your dictionary automatically, you must turn on Auto-learn approved history corrections on the Dictation settings page — it is off by default. With it on, clear phrase-level corrections from your history edits flow into the Dictionary as entries (tracked with a CorrectionSuggestion or AutoLearned source) so future transcriptions apply the correction automatically.
With it off, your edits still generate suggestions, but they are surfaced inline on the edited entry for review instead of being saved silently. Each suggested correction appears as a row with editable Original and Replacement fields, a checkbox to approve it, and a confidence label. Use Save approved corrections to write the checked rows into the Dictionary, or Dismiss to discard them.
Once a correction is learned, it appears in the Dictionary with a CorrectionSuggestion source (Correction is the entry type, not its source) — see the entry screenshot on the Dictionary page.
