How to create and use dictionary lists

Last updated January 28, 2026

A dictionary is a saved word list that helps Audiogest recognize names, specialist terms, and abbreviations in your recordings. You can reuse it for future uploads.

Create a dictionary

1. Open Dictionaries in the app.
2. Click Create your first dictionary. If you already have a list, click Add dictionary.
3. Enter a Name, such as “Product names”.
4. Enter your terms under Words, separated by commas or new lines.
5. Click Create dictionary.

Each dictionary can contain up to 100 words. Duplicate words are removed automatically. You can create one dictionary without an active subscription, or up to 100 with an active subscription. The list limit applies to dictionaries you create in the current organization.

Use a dictionary during upload

1. Open Upload file and select your recording.
2. Under File options, open Dictionary and select your list.
3. Click Create transcript. Audiogest uses the words during transcription.

You can also choose Create new dictionary from the upload options. Choose None if you do not want to use a saved list.

If you upload several files together, the selected dictionary applies to all of them.

Add words for one upload only

Use Add one-time terms below the dictionary selector for names or words that are relevant only to this upload. Separate them with commas or new lines. You can use these terms on their own or together with a saved dictionary.

One-time terms are not added to your saved dictionary and are not saved as defaults for the next upload.

Edit or delete a dictionary

On the Dictionaries page, click the pencil icon to change a list's name or words, then click Save changes. Use the trash icon to delete a dictionary. Deletion cannot be undone.

Editing a dictionary does not change transcripts you already created.
