If the AI keeps mishearing the same word, you don't have to correct it by hand every time. Find & Replace lets you save substitution rules — for example, always swap "paracetemol" for "paracetamol" — and Whippet applies them to every note it generates from then on. It's the place to standardise drug names, breed names, and regional spellings once.
This page covers two related tools: the Find & Replace page, where saved rules apply automatically to all future generated notes, and the in-editor Search & Replace toolbar, a one-off find/replace inside the single note you're editing.
Adding a replacement rule
Open the Find & Replace page from your dashboard.
On the Word Replacements card, click Add replacement.
In the dialog, fill in Word to replace — the misheard word as it appears in notes — and Replace with — the correct word. Both are required.
Click Create word replacement.
One rule can catch several misspellings of the same word — "paracetemol", "paracetomol" and "paracetamole" can all map to "paracetamol". Click Add word on the rule's row, type the extra misspelling, and press Enter; each variant appears as a tag on the row. Grouping a word's misspellings on one row is easier to manage than many near-identical rules.
Editing or removing a rule
Click the small x on a variant's tag to drop just that word from the rule.
Click the bin (trash) icon at the end of the row to delete the whole rule.
You can't remove the last remaining word with its x — delete the whole rule with the bin icon instead. There's no enable/disable switch: a rule is either saved (and active) or deleted.
How rules apply
Rules run on words exactly as written in your generated notes, and apply to all notes you generate from then on. For more on how a note is produced and viewed, see Viewing and navigating a consult. Saved rules are about cleaning up wording — for changing the structure or style of the note itself, use a template instead; see Creating and editing templates.
One-off find/replace inside a note
When editing a note, you can do a quick find/replace within that note without saving any rule:
In the note editor's toolbar, click Search & Replace.
Type your term in the Search... box, then use the left and right arrows to jump between highlighted matches.
Click the repeat icon to open the replace view. Type the new text in the Replace with box, then click Replace for the current match or Replace All for every match.
Tick Match case to replace only text matching your capitalisation exactly — searches aren't case-sensitive unless you turn this on.
Click the x to close the panel.
This is a manual edit to the note in front of you — it changes nothing for future notes and saves no rule.
Saving a one-off replacement as a permanent rule
When you select a short stretch of text in a note (up to 30 characters), a small menu appears with a Replace button. Click it to open the Replace Word dialog, type the Replace with word, and tick Save for future replacements to make it a permanent rule, just like the ones on the Find & Replace page. Leave it unticked to change only the current note.
If something goes wrong
The Create button is greyed out. You haven't filled in both Word to replace and Replace with — both are required.
The x on a tag won't click. That's the only word left in the rule. Delete the whole rule with the bin icon instead.
A new rule didn't fix an existing note. Rules only apply to notes generated after you save them. Regenerate the note, or generate a new one, to see the correction.
"Failed to add word" / "Failed to delete word replacement". Your change didn't save. Try again; if it keeps failing, refresh the page.
The list says "Failed to load". Your rules couldn't be fetched. Refresh the page to try again.
What this doesn't do (yet)
No case-sensitivity setting on saved rules. Saved replacements match the word as written; the Match case option exists only in the in-editor Search & Replace toolbar.
No retroactive edits. Saved rules never go back and re-edit notes you've already created.
It doesn't touch transcripts or audio. Only your generated notes.
