4. Select advanced options like Language and Number of Speakers (Optional)

Vocabulary: add any specific names or acronyms here to help our AI recognize them and transcribe them correctly.
Language: Detect automatically or choose a specific spoken language in the file (e.g. English, Dutch, French)
- Tip: specify a language when people are speaking with heavy accents in your recording. This prevents our AI from detecting the wrong language
