WhisperDictation v1.0.8
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)
