Improving Transcription Accuracy

Speak Clearly

Reduce Background Noise

Check Your Language Setting

  1. Go to SettingsSpeech Task
  2. Pick the spoken language explicitly instead of leaving Auto-detect. Auto-detect works, but choosing the language you will speak gives noticeably better accuracy. The app itself notes: “Transcription works best when the spoken language is set correctly.”
  3. If you switch between languages, update this setting each time

Use Output Style and Dictionary

For specialized vocabulary (medical terms, legal jargon, company names):

  1. Go to SettingsDictionary for words, names, acronyms, and recurring corrections
  2. Go to SettingsOutput Style for tone, structure, and short domain instructions
  3. Keep instructions concrete and avoid long paragraphs

Choose the Right Recognition Profile

ProfileAccuracySpeedRAM Usage
Minimal / CompactBasic to goodFastest~75-148 MB
Everyday / StandardGood to betterFast to balanced~190-512 MB
Extended / Expert / ProfessionalHighestSlower~1.5-3 GB+

Larger profiles can improve accuracy but take more time and memory. Choose based on your hardware and needs.

Use Custom Dictionary

  1. Go to SettingsDictionary
  2. Add words that are frequently misrecognized
  3. Enable auto-correct to fix common transcription mistakes

FAQ

How can I improve dictation accuracy?

Speak clearly at a moderate pace, reduce background noise, pick the spoken language explicitly in Speech Task instead of Auto-detect, and use the Dictionary for specialized vocabulary.

Which AI model gives the best accuracy?

Larger recognition profiles such as Extended, Expert, and Professional can improve accuracy, but they require more processing time and memory.
