Dictionary

The dictionary helps Handless transcribe specialized terms, names, and jargon correctly.

​

How It Works

When you add terms, they’re sent as hints to the transcription engine. This improves recognition of words that might otherwise be misheard — technical terms, brand names, acronyms, or uncommon proper nouns.

​

Adding Terms

1. Open Settings → Dictionary
2. Add terms separated by commas, spaces, or newlines
3. Terms are automatically included in future transcriptions

Examples: Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Vercel, NVIDIA, TailwindCSS

​

Context Description

Add a context description to give the engine more background about what you typically discuss:

I’m a software engineer discussing web development, React, TypeScript, and cloud infrastructure.

This helps the engine make better guesses when words are ambiguous.
