Vocabulary
Help VoiceInk recognize the names and terms that matter to you.
What Vocabulary Does
Vocabulary gives VoiceInk a list of important words and phrases to recognize and preserve. It is useful for personal names, company names, product names, acronyms, and specialized terminology.
For example, you might add Szczęsny, PostgreSQL, VoiceInk, or retrieval-augmented generation.
Vocabulary guides supported transcription models and AI enhancement. It does not force one piece of text to become another. For an exact, repeatable substitution, use Word Replacements.
