Custom Vocabulary

Add domain-specific terms, names, and technical jargon to improve transcription accuracy.

Why Use Custom Vocabulary?

Wispli's speech recognition is trained on general language. It might not recognize:

• Technical terms: Kubernetes, GraphQL, PostgreSQL
• Product names: Your company's product names
• Acronyms: Internal acronyms and abbreviations
• Names: Uncommon names of people or places

Adding Terms

1. Open the Vocabulary panel in the sidebar
2. Click Add Term
3. Enter the term exactly as you want it spelled
4. Click Save

How It Works

When you speak, Wispli checks your custom vocabulary and ensures recognized terms are spelled correctly in the output.

Example:

Without vocabulary:
  "We deployed to Cooper Netties" ❌

With "Kubernetes" in vocabulary:
  "We deployed to Kubernetes" ✅
