Set up a Wispr Flow custom dictionary
Wispr Flow's custom dictionary teaches it the words it keeps getting wrong: people's names, product and company names, technical jargon, and acronyms. Adding a dozen of your most-used terms is the single fastest way to improve accuracy, because these are exactly the words a general model has never seen.
Why it matters
General speech models are trained on common language, so they nail everyday words and stumble on the specific ones: your colleagues' names, your company's product, the libraries you use. Every time you fix the same word, you are doing work the dictionary should do once.
What to add first
- Names of people you write to often.
- Your company and product names, and clients' names.
- Technical or industry jargon you use daily.
- Acronyms that should stay capitalized.
- Anything you have corrected more than twice.
How to keep it useful
- Add terms as you catch mistakes, not in one big session.
- Include the spelling and, where the app allows, how it sounds.
- Review it occasionally and remove terms you no longer use.
This is especially valuable for developers dictating library names and for anyone in a specialized field.
