@sam-pop sam-pop released this 12 Apr 18:55

Custom Names & Terms Vocabulary

Add your own names, places, and frequently used terms for better recognition.

What's New

  • Names & Terms section in Settings → Vocabulary — add personal terms with correct casing
  • Terms bias Whisper recognition AND get casing corrected post-transcription
  • Flow-wrapped pill UI with add/delete
  • Thread-safe cached single combined regex (one string scan regardless of term count)
  • 100-term limit with word budget enforcement to stay under Whisper's token limit
  • 56 tests passing (5 new)
