Location
Default proximity
How close you need to be for a location reminder to alert. Can be overridden per reminder via voice ("within 1 mile of…").
Prefer locations within 100 miles
When you name a city or POI ("Price Chopper in Sidney"), prefer matches near your current or home location. Fixes cases where "Sidney" would otherwise resolve to Sydney, Australia. If no result falls in this radius, a picker will ask you to choose from the top global matches. Set to 0 for no radius preference.
Navigation app
Which app the Navigate button opens. "Auto" picks Apple Maps on iOS and Google Maps elsewhere. Works anywhere you see 🗺 Navigate (edit-dialog map, reminder actions).
Recurring re-arm cooldown
For "every time I'm at…" reminders, how long to wait after alerting before the reminder can alert again. You must also leave and re-enter the area.
End-to-end encryption

🎛 Advanced STT tuning

Presets

One-click profiles that tune every Advanced STT knob at once. Applying a preset turns Advanced STT on automatically. By default your vocabulary, correction rules, and sync-across-devices toggles are not touched — only the STT tuning knobs. Use the checkboxes below to opt into broader changes.

Vocabulary 0

Proper nouns, brand names, meds, recipe ingredients — any term your recognizer keeps mishearing. Seed from your existing reminders & saved locations, or type them in one at a time.

Phonetic matching

When exact and 1-character fuzzy matching miss, try matching by sound (Double Metaphone). Helps with homophones and mishearings like Kroger/crowger, Catherine/Kathryn, or Smith/Smyth. Applies to saved locations, the vocabulary list, and correction rules.

N-best reranking

When your microphone hears several possible phrasings, re-rank them using your vocabulary, correction rules, and (if enabled) phonetic matches instead of the engine's default top pick. Helps catch cases where the right interpretation is a lower-confidence alternative — for example a proper noun you've taught the app.

Confidence thresholds

Three floors govern what happens to a transcription. Below the Accept floor, the edit dialog opens with your words pre-filled so you can fix or discard. Between Accept and Auto-save, the edit dialog opens as a confirmation step. Above Auto-save, the reminder saves automatically. Rerank floor only applies when N-best reranking is on — it demotes a result one tier if the composite rerank score is too low.

Corrections 0

Teach the recognizer your personal mishearings. When you fix a typo in a voice-captured reminder, tap Teach in the edit dialog to save the misheard→intended pair. You can also add pairs by hand below.

Match mode

Each knob here is opt-in. By default every section is local-only; flip the per-section "Sync across devices" toggle to have that section's data ride along in your encrypted cloud backup. Audio itself never leaves your device beyond the browser's usual speech recognition (Chrome→Google, Safari→Apple) and, if enabled separately, on-device Whisper.
