How to Use the Custom Dictionary for Better Accuracy
Whisper is generally accurate, but it has no way of knowing your company's product name, a guest's unusual name, or field-specific jargon unless you tell it. The custom dictionary fixes exactly this — a list of "wrong word → correct word" corrections that ScribeForge applies automatically.
Adding entries
- Open Settings → Dictionary.
- Add an entry: the word Whisper tends to get wrong, and the correct version. For example, a misheard product name or an uncommon proper noun.
- Save. The entry now applies to future transcriptions automatically.
Bulk import
If you have a long list of corrections already — a cast list, a glossary of technical terms — import them all at once via CSV instead of adding entries one by one.
Applying it retroactively
Added a dictionary entry after you already transcribed something? You can re-apply the current dictionary to an existing transcript from the transcript's options menu, without re-running the full transcription.
Good candidates for the dictionary
- Names of recurring guests, colleagues or clients
- Product names, brand names, and company-specific terms
- Technical or industry jargon that comes up often in your recordings
