Custom Dictionary

Add project names, technical terms, and pronunciation hints, then check their spelling in actual dictation and polished output.

Adding Words

  1. Open OpenTypeless settings and navigate to the Dictionary tab.
  2. Click 'Add Word' and enter the term (e.g., 'Kubernetes', 'PostgreSQL').
  3. Optionally add a pronunciation hint to help the STT provider.

How It Works

The desktop pipeline loads your dictionary words and supplies them to the text-polishing prompt. Treat entries as vocabulary guidance: they do not retrain an STT model or create executable voice commands. Provider-specific recognition hints and pronunciation support depend on the selected speech route. Test the raw transcript and polished output separately.

Pro Tip

💡
Add a small set of frequently misrecognized terms and test each in a complete sentence. Check names, casing, identifiers, and meaning after polishing. If a term is still wrong, adjust the entry or a correction rule and repeat the same sample; adding a dictionary entry does not guarantee recognition.
