Custom vocabulary (glossary)
A list of names, brands, acronyms and technical terms given to the system so it spells them correctly when transcribing.
A custom vocabulary or glossary is a list of words the transcription system treats as more likely. It’s mainly for things a general model doesn’t know: names of people and companies, products, internal acronyms or industry terms.
Example: without a glossary, “Edorteam” may come out as “Edor Team” or “editor team”, and an internal acronym like “PMO” as “pee em oh”. With those words in the glossary, the system prefers them when the sound fits.
Only add words that will really come up, and type them the way you want to see them. A huge list of common words doesn’t help.
In Echo you can type a glossary when you upload each file, save one for your whole account in Settings and, in a team workspace, keep a shared one. All three are combined. In our accuracy measurement, what failed most was unusual proper names: exactly what the glossary fixes.
