Add names and special terms for better transcription

Add user-specific names, acronyms, and special terms to improve future transcriptions.

Written by Max Sherman

Names and special terms help MinutesGenerator recognize words that are easy for speech-to-text systems to miss, such as people's names, departments, acronyms, ordinance numbers, project titles, locations, and other local terminology.

  1. Stay on the General tab.

  2. Scroll to the Transcription section.

  3. Find Names and special terms.

  4. Click Add term.

  5. Enter one word or short phrase per row, such as a council member, department, street, project, acronym, ordinance number, or commonly misheard word.

  6. Remove terms that are no longer useful so the list stays focused.

  7. Start your next upload or recording from the dashboard.

These terms apply to future audio and video transcription from your account. They do not rewrite transcripts or minutes that were already generated.

If you are part of a team, names and special terms are still user-specific. They are not shared automatically with teammates.
