# Dispatch

> Voice-activated commands that trigger system actions, open apps, and run custom workflows.

## Overview

Dispatch is Resonant's voice command router. Instead of dictating text, you can speak commands that trigger system actions — opening apps, running scripts, toggling settings, and more.

## How it works

When dictation is active, Resonant listens for command phrases. If a spoken phrase matches a registered command, it executes the associated action instead of inserting text.

## Built-in commands

Resonant includes built-in commands for common actions:

| Command                      | Action                                     |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| "Open \[app name]"           | Launches the specified application         |
| "Switch to \[app name]"      | Brings the specified app to the foreground |
| "New line" / "New paragraph" | Inserts a line break / double line break   |
| "Select all"                 | Selects all text in the current field      |
| "Undo" / "Redo"              | Triggers undo/redo in the active app       |

## Custom commands

You can define custom Dispatch commands in **Settings → Dispatch**. Each command consists of:

* **Trigger phrase** — what you say to activate it
* **Action** — what happens (open URL, run shell command, send keystroke, etc.)

<Tip>
  Dispatch is especially useful for hands-free workflows — controlling your computer while away from the keyboard.
