Dispatch - Resonant

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.)

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