Custom Vocabulary/Word List

✨ Feature Request: Custom Vocabulary/Word List

🚀 Description

• The transcription feature frequently misspells specific words, such as proper names (e.g., transcribing "Callie" as "Cali").
• This suggests a need for an exclusive vocabulary feature to improve accuracy for niche terms. (Limitless had this and worked perfectly)

✅ Expected Behavior

• Users should have a dedicated field or settings area to input and save specific custom words (e.g., people's names, project titles, industry jargon).
• The AI transcription model should prioritize these custom entries, significantly improving accuracy for these specific terms.
• This functionality should function similarly to the highly effective Custom Vocabulary feature previously available in the Limitless app.

🛑 Actual Behavior

• The transcription model relies solely on its general vocabulary, leading to persistent and frustrating errors with unique or proper nouns.

💥 Impact

• Low Transcription Quality: Personal and professional transcriptions contain frequent, persistent errors.
• Hindered Searchability: Incorrectly transcribed names make it difficult to search and find relevant information later.

📝 Steps to Reproduce

1. Speak a unique word (e.g., a child's name like "Callie") into the device.
2. Review the resulting transcription.
3. Observe that the word is consistently and incorrectly transcribed (e.g., "Cali").

@hugoaap-code Thanks for the feature request. Custom vocabulary/word list for proper names and jargon would significantly improve transcription accuracy. Limitless had this feature. Good candidate for community contribution. I scored it as Layer understand / P3 / help-wanted with score 13 (w=4, sev 2, trust 2, freq 3, lev 2, cost 2). See our triage guide.
