Dictionary

Improve transcription accuracy with custom terms, and automatically swap mis-heard words for the correct text.

The Dictionary page gives you two ways to fine-tune your captions. The Transcription Dictionary teaches the model to recognize names, brands, and jargon it might otherwise mis-hear, and Word Replacements automatically swap a transcribed word or phrase for text you specify. Open it from Settings → Dictionary; changes save automatically.

Transcription Dictionary

Add important words, phrases, brand names, or technical terms that you expect in the audio. These help the model recognize and transcribe them more accurately, so a commonly mis-transcribed term is more likely to come out exactly as you spelled it.

Add terms

  1. Go to Settings → Dictionary and find the Transcription Dictionary section.
  2. Enter a word or phrase in the Term or Phrase field.
  3. Use Add Another for more terms, one per row.
Each term goes on its own row. Use Clear All to remove every term at once.

Import from a file

To add many terms at once, click Import CSV and choose a file. Existing terms are kept, and duplicates are skipped automatically.

Upload a .csv or .txt file with one term per line. Only the first column is used, so a spreadsheet export works fine.

What to add

  • Brand & product names
    Company names, product lines, or app names, anything spelled in an unusual way.
  • Acronyms & initialisms
    Industry abbreviations the model might spell out or misread.
  • Technical & rare terms
    Field-specific jargon, scientific terms, part numbers, or rare and invented words the model might not know.
  • People & place names
    Speaker names, team members, or locations that are easy to mishear.

To start over, click Clear All to remove every term in the Transcription Dictionary.

Word Replacements

Word Replacements automatically replace a transcribed word or phrase with text you specify. Use this to fix a term that is consistently mis-heard, standardize spelling, or substitute one word for another in the captions.

  1. Enter the word or phrase to find in Word or Phrase to Replace.
  2. Enter what it should become in Replace With.
  3. Use Add Another for more rows.

The Censor profane language setting links here. If you need to hide additional words that are not in the built-in profanity list, add them as word replacements.

Frequently asked questions

The Transcription Dictionary nudges the model toward recognizing terms while it transcribes, so a name or piece of jargon is more likely to be heard correctly. Word Replacements run afterward: they swap a word or phrase in the finished caption for the exact text you specify.
