Personal Dictionary teaches the AI words it gets wrong. Names, product names, technical terms, abbreviations - add them once and they work on every device.

How It Works

Your dictionary entries are stored server-side and applied during transcription. When you add a word, it takes effect on your next recording - on any device, any platform.

Adding Words

Desktop (Mac, Windows, Linux)

Open Settings > Dictionary
Type the word in the "Word" field
Optionally add a "Sounds like" phonetic hint
Click Add

The dictionary UI is a spreadsheet-style word list with inline add, edit, and delete.

Mobile

Dictionary UI is not yet available on iPhone, iPad, or Android. But entries added from desktop apply to all your devices including mobile.

Fields

Field	Required	Description
Word	Yes	The correct spelling of the word
Sounds like	No	Phonetic hint to help recognition

Examples

Word	Sounds like	Why
Kubernetes	koo-ber-net-eez	AI writes "cooper net ease"
AICHE	ay-chee	AI writes "aitch" or "H"
PostgreSQL	post-gres-Q-L	AI writes "post grey sequel"
Vlad	vlad	AI writes "glad" or "flat"

Limits

50 entries per account
Words are case-sensitive as entered
"Sounds like" is optional but improves accuracy for unusual words

For Developers

Personal Dictionary is available via API:

GET /api/v1/vocabulary - list all entries
POST /api/v1/vocabulary - add single entry
POST /api/v1/vocabulary/bulk - add up to 50 at once (upsert)
PUT /api/v1/vocabulary/{id} - update entry
DELETE /api/v1/vocabulary/{id} - delete entry
DELETE /api/v1/vocabulary/?confirm=true - delete all

Tips

Start with words the AI gets wrong most often
Names of people, places, and products are the most common additions
"Sounds like" is most useful for non-English names and invented words
Changes apply instantly to your next recording - no restart needed
