Custom dictionary
A custom dictionary for names and jargon
TapWisper's Dictionary holds the names and words dictation should always get right — your name, your company, product names and technical terms. Each entry can list what it's often misheard as; the term is sent to the speech model as vocabulary, and misheard versions are replaced after transcription.
How it works
Three steps. That’s it.
01.
Add a word
Open Dictionary and add the correct spelling, like “Kubernetes” or “TapWisper”.
02.
Add mishearings
Optionally list what it's often misheard as, like “cooper netties”.
03.
Dictate as usual
Every future dictation spells it correctly.
