Smart Corrections

Automatically replace specific words or phrases in your transcriptions with the text you actually want.

Smart Corrections let you define rules that automatically replace words or phrases after transcription. If Echo consistently writes "my website link" when you say it, you can set up a rule to replace that with your actual URL. If it misspells a name, you can fix it once and never think about it again.

Adding a Replacement

Click Vocabulary in the sidebar
Select Smart Corrections
Click the + button in the top-right corner of the corrections list
In the Original Text field, enter the word or phrase you want replaced
In the Replacement Text field, enter what it should become
Click Add

Using Multiple Originals

You can map several variations to a single replacement by separating them with commas in the Original Text field. For example:

Original Text: Voicing, Voice ink, Voiceing
Replacement Text: Echo

This means any of those three mistranscriptions will be corrected to "Echo" automatically.

Editing and Removing Rules

To edit an existing rule, click the pencil icon next to it
To delete a rule, click the x icon next to it

You can also sort your rules by clicking the Original or Replacement column headers to toggle between ascending and descending order.

Enabling and Disabling

Smart Corrections are enabled by default. To turn them off without deleting your rules, use the toggle switch at the top of the Smart Corrections section. Your rules are preserved and will apply again when you re-enable the feature.

Tips

Smart Corrections are case-insensitive. A rule for "chatgpt" will also match "ChatGPT" and "CHATGPT."
Use this feature to insert formatted text you can't easily dictate, like email addresses, URLs, or code snippets. For example, set "my email" to replace with your actual email address.
Replacements work across all languages. For languages like Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai, Echo uses substring matching instead of word boundaries, so corrections work naturally with those writing systems.
