Hi there,

Is there a way to make the voice to type more accurarete? There are several medical words that this program consistently gets wrong and I am wondering if their is a way to "train" the program to more accurately get these words.

Thank you

Hi Tatiana,

You can use custom voice commands to fix this issue.

Here are two examples:

In general, you can add voice commands mapping any words to anything else.
Two broad ways to do it. So say you have a technical term fenbendazole that you need to dictate often, you can add

"medicine 1" => fenbendazole --- this is like adding a shortcut

or you could do

"fender benders all" => "fenbendazole" -- this is correcting dictation error using voice command.

Hope this helps.

@admin,
So you are saying that we have to rememebr to intentionally misprnounce it as "fender benders all' to get it to transcribe correctly.
That is outright stupid.

Why can't you just add medical vocabulary to the program? Or allow users to add word to the vocabulary.

@medicaltrial, I definitely feel your pain that it is a hassle.
But, I bit the bullet and ended up adding the mispronunciations because so far, this has been working out much better than my Macbook dictation.

If it helps, this is what I have done to make it as streamlined as possible.

  1. I say the medical term/medication a few times and see what words get generated
  2. Then I copy and paste those "wrong" words into "bulk add"
  3. And then I add my desired word in the following format
