Using the Custom Dictionary
Teach Vibe Typer your unique vocabulary, names, and technical terms with custom dictionary replacements.
Overview
The custom dictionary lets you define text replacements that are applied automatically after transcription. This is useful for correcting names, expanding abbreviations, or inserting special formatting.
How to Access
Open Settings > Dictionary to manage your dictionary entries.
Adding an Entry
Each dictionary entry has the following fields:
- Trigger phrase — the text that Vibe Typer should look for in your transcription
- Replacement — the text to replace it with
- Match mode — either Exact (matches anywhere in text) or Whole word (only matches complete words)
- Case sensitivity — whether the match should be case-sensitive
Practical Examples
| Trigger | Replacement | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| john | Jon | Fix a name the transcription engine gets wrong |
| new paragraph | (paragraph break) | Insert a paragraph break using the quick-action button |
| new line | (line break) | Insert a line break using the quick-action button |
| acme corp | ACME Corp. | Ensure brand names are formatted correctly |
Quick-Action Buttons
When adding a new entry, quick-action buttons let you set up common replacements instantly:
- New line — creates an entry that inserts a line break
- Paragraph break — creates an entry that inserts a paragraph break
Matching Priority
When multiple dictionary entries could match the same text, longer trigger phrases take priority. User-defined entries always override built-in replacements.
