Your work has its own language. Snaply lets you teach dictation the names, acronyms, product terms, company jargon, and uncommon spellings that matter to you.

​
What A Custom Word Does

Each entry has:
  • The final word you want in the transcript
  • Optional misspellings or variants that should resolve to that word
This is most useful when Snaply consistently hears the right term the wrong way.

​
Good Use Cases

Custom words are not just cosmetic. They also help Snaply’s runtime vocabulary recognize unusual terms more reliably, which makes everyday dictation feel much smoother once your common vocabulary is covered.

​
Add Common Misspellings

After adding the main word, you can attach the mistakes Snaply is most likely to make under it. Examples:
  • Snaply with misspellings like snapy or snapply
  • FluidAudio with a misspelling like Fluidaudio
  • Giacomo with variants that people often pronounce or spell differently
Each word can store up to 10 misspellings or variants.

​
Tips

  • Add words after real misses instead of trying to predict everything up front.
  • Focus on names, acronyms, products, and domain-specific words first.
  • Add misspellings only for repeated failures, not every imaginable variation.

​
Managing Your Dictionary

From Settings -> Dictation -> Words dictionary, you can:
  • Search by word or misspelling
  • Sort alphabetically or by newest
  • Add and remove misspellings
  • Delete words you no longer need
If you want to change the main word itself, remove the old entry and add it again with the spelling you want.
