Vocabulary
Customize how Echo understands and formats your words with smart corrections, personal vocabulary, and filler word removal.
Echo's vocabulary features give you control over how your transcriptions read after they're captured. You can automatically fix recurring mistakes, teach Echo specialized terms, and benefit from automatic filler word removal -- all without touching the text yourself.
What's Included
Echo offers three vocabulary tools, each solving a different problem:
-
Smart Corrections automatically replace specific words or phrases with the text you actually want. Useful for fixing consistent mistranscriptions, expanding abbreviations, or inserting formatted text like URLs and email addresses.
-
Personal Vocabulary teaches Echo the specialized terms, names, and jargon it needs to recognize. This is especially helpful for technical fields, brand names, or any word that a general-purpose model wouldn't know.
-
Filler Word Removal automatically strips out words like "uh," "um," and "hmm" from your transcriptions, so the final text reads cleanly. This runs automatically on every transcription.
Where to Find It
To access your vocabulary settings, click Vocabulary in the sidebar. You'll see two sections you can switch between: Smart Corrections and Personal Vocabulary.
How They Work Together
These features are applied in sequence after each transcription:
- Filler words are removed first (automatically)
- Smart Corrections replace any matching words or phrases
- The cleaned-up text is copied to your clipboard or pasted into the active app
All three work independently -- you can use any combination that suits your workflow.
