Usage Note
Literalmente is widely used in informal speech as an intensifier (much like English 'literally'), which can clash with its strict meaning of 'word for word' or 'in the exact sense'. In careful writing, reserve it for true literal translations or statements, as overuse is considered hyperbolic slang.
Examples
"Eso es, literalmente, lo que dijo."
Natural Translation
That is, literally, what he said.
