Why does my dictation appear in English?

Understanding the two language settings

Weesper Neon Flow uses two different language settings:

1. Interface language: this controls menus, buttons, and visible text in the app.
2. Dictation language: this controls the language your voice should be transcribed in.

If the interface is set to French but the dictation language is still set to automatic detection, Weesper Neon Flow may sometimes interpret a short phrase as English. This can happen especially with very short phrases, proper names, technical vocabulary, or medical terms.

Check the dictation language

1. Open Weesper Neon Flow.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Look for the Language or Dictation Language setting.
4. Explicitly choose the language you speak, for example French or German.
5. Close and reopen the app if the change does not seem to apply.

Avoid automatic detection if you always use the same language day to day.

If the issue mainly happens with short phrases

Short phrases give the transcription engine less context. For example, a phrase of just a few words may be interpreted as English if it sounds similar to English.

To improve the result:

• dictate a complete sentence instead of a very short fragment;
• keep the same language throughout the dictation;
• avoid mixing multiple languages in the same sentence;
• add important terms to the dictionary or style instructions.

Check the recognition profile first

If the dictation language is correct but the result still appears in English, check the transcription settings in this order:

1. Open Settings.
2. Look for Recognition Profile or Model settings.
3. Choose a profile that supports the language you are speaking.
4. Then try a different Quality level if needed.
5. Test with a simple 10 to 15 second sentence.

The recognition profile usually has the biggest impact on language accuracy. The Quality level can help, but it is usually secondary to choosing a profile that fits your language and computer.

Quit and reopen the app

After changing the language, recognition profile, or quality level, fully quit Weesper Neon Flow and reopen the app.

On Windows, also check that the icon is no longer visible in the notification area before reopening. On macOS, use Quit instead of simply closing the window.

Medical, legal, or technical vocabulary

If you use Weesper Neon Flow for medical, legal, or technical notes, some rare words may be recognized incorrectly. In that case:

1. Go to Settings → Dictionary.
2. Add the words that come up often.
3. Use Output Style to specify your field, for example “medical vocabulary in French”.

This helps Weesper Neon Flow stay in the right context.
