  6. Once you enter or record the sentence, it will be shown in bright black letters.

    NOTE: You can still edit the sentence by tapping it and rewriting or recording your voice again by clicking on "Change Voice Phrase."

    Tap "Done." If your keyboard is visible, the button will be in the bottom-right corner (Example 1). If not, it will be at the bottom center, just above the "Remove Shortcut" phrase (Example 2).
