## Option 2: Disable individual voice commands

You can use the `<delete>` command to delete individual built-in voice commands.

For example, say you want to delete the built-in voice command `question mark => ?`, i.e., when you say `question mark`, you don't want it to insert `?`. You can add a custom voice command `question mark => <delete>` . This will remove the built-in voice command.
