Company Dictionary Tips

Dialpad AI learns from every conversation, allowing you to customize your experience and increase transcription accuracy. 

Set a Company Dictionary to ensure that the common (and not-so-common) words spoken every day are captured and transcribed accurately across your entire team. Keeping your Company Dictionary accurate allows our AI to capture the entire conversation as it happened, and maximize your key moment usage. 

Let's take a look at some tips and tricks to make sure you get the most out of your Company Dictionary.

Why it matters

Transcription accuracy can be affected by many factors, including: 

  •  Different kinds of noise 

  •  Crosstalk 

  •  Accents 

  •  Important words 

  •  How transcripts are normalized 

A Company Dictionary looks to solve for capturing those important words — the ones special to your business, packed with meaning, and arguably the most critical to be transcribed accurately.

What to add

There's no limit to the number of keywords you can have in your Company Dictionary, so don't be shy! 

Add words like:

  • Unique workplace abbreviations: SaaS, RFP, RFO, PRD, CSAT, CX 

  • Competitors: Nike, Adidas, PayPal 

  • Product names: Dialpad, Dialpad Meetings 

  • Customer names: Motorola, Uber, DOMO 

  • Technical jargon: WebRTC, Opus, Telephony, Codecs 

Pronunciation hints are another great way to train our system to correctly identify keywords. For example, if you were referring to "Dialpad", a pronunciation hint would be "rhymes with Smile Pad."

What not to add

Only English words are permitted. 

Common words and slang won't help your transcript quality, and we recommend not using the following keywords:

  • Common acronyms: LLC, Inc., 

  • Industries: Real Estate, Consulting, Recruiting, Tech 

  • Email addresses 

  • URLs

  • Common English names: Jane, Smith, Johnson 

  • Common workplace actions: Email, ping, sync, collaborate
