Make corrections to Apple's dictation, after it populates the text
What would you like?
i'm not sure if that's possible, given Apple's API's, but if I use Apple's dictation to populate data in a tax field, it would be great to have the ability to replace certain words that Apple always gets wrong, but refuses to fix.
Why it would help
Specifically, it keeps insisting on spelling out numbers as full words (one, two, three, etc), and there's almost never a good reason for that. I guess there could be a setting that specifically enables this, something like "replace the following words on apple dictation”, with the list of default replacements (like the numbers), and a custom list of replacements

@borisb13 Apple's speech model writes small numbers as words and its API has no setting to change that, and I can't touch text that comes from the system keyboard's mic. EFKey's own dictation can fix it now: in 2.2.1, the next App Store update, Settings → Dictation has "Write numbers as digits" (two to ten become 2 to 10, "one" stays a word unless you add it) and a "Word replacements" list for anything else Apple keeps getting wrong.
Works as described.
