Custom Vocabulary for Transcription (Names, Projects, Jargon) #3665
Description
Summary
Transcription in Omi mobile struggles with certain words like people’s names, project names, and industry jargon. These terms often get mistranscribed, which breaks accuracy and affects downstream AI responses.
Why This Matters
Limitless and many other solutions solved this with custom vocabulary support, and it made a huge difference. Deepgram and Whisper both support keyword boosting / phrase hints. Omi should take advantage of this.
Request
Add a simple way for users to define custom keywords that Omi will pass to the transcription engine. Examples:
- Team member names
- Customer names
- Project or product names
- Industry jargon
Expected Outcome
Higher transcription accuracy, fewer mismatches, and better performance from Omi Chat.
Implementation Notes
Deepgram and Whisper already allow:
- Keyword boosting
- Phrase hints
- Custom vocab lists
Omi just needs to expose a small UI for adding keywords and pass them through the API call.
