Your dictation dictionary and end word

3 min read

Speech-to-text is only as good as its grasp of your vocabulary - project names, tool names, jargon. DevThrottle keeps one shared dictionary on your Gateway that every voice surface uses: dictation and Speak on every Director, and voice-note transcription. Teach it a term once and every surface gets it, on the very next dictation - no restarts, no copying files around.

The Dictionary page

Open Dictionary in the Cockpit (under the Data section). It has two lists:

  • Vocabulary - terms biased into speech-to-text, so the recognizer favors them when it hears something close. Add your product names, repo names, and the words transcription keeps missing.
  • Common mistranscriptions - the correct term paired with the wrong spellings you have actually seen. These feed the cleanup pass that runs after transcription.

Edit, then Save. Edits apply on the next recording or dictation. If you try to leave with unsaved changes, the page stops you and asks.

Note
The cleanup pass is deliberately narrow: it only applies your known dictionary corrections, validated word-for-word - it never rewrites your text freely. A transcript with no dictionary hits comes back untouched, and if the dictionary ever has a problem, transcription still succeeds without it.
Tip
Your agents can add terms too - the Gateway exposes the dictionary over its API, so "add SwimFrame to my dictation dictionary" is a one-liner for a connected agent.

The Car Mode end phrase

Car Mode ends your spoken turn when you say the sign-off phrase - "over and out" by default. To change it, open the Cockpit's Settings and pick the Car Mode tab: set End phrase (say this to finish your turn) and save. It is a Gateway setting, so one phrase applies on every device from the next Car Mode turn.

The same tab has a live phrase tester that listens exactly the way Car Mode does, so you can confirm your phrase is detected reliably before trusting it on the road.

Note
The end phrase exists only for Car Mode's hands-free turn-taking. Ordinary dictation uses buttons (Pause, Send) instead - and the phone's AI settings screen sets models and voices, not the end phrase.
