Transcription language and glossary

The language you speak

NoteClearly transcribes many languages and can detect the language on its own. Telling it which one you speak is more accurate, above all for short recordings, where there is little to go on.

• Your default: on the AI & automation page, under Transcription, set Language you speak. Keep Detect automatically if you switch between languages.
• For one recording: on the Record page, change Language spoken before you record.

Your glossary

Transcription can mishear names and unusual words - a colleague’s name, a product, a place, a technical term. List them in your Glossary, one per line, on the AI & automation page.

The glossary is used in two places:

• Transcription is given your terms, so it is more likely to spell them right when you say them.
• AI - polish, key points and outputs - uses them as the right spelling of words the transcript clearly misheard.

Neither ever adds a term you didn’t say. Your glossary is private to you.
