Speech context beta: Boost LiveScrypt’s transcription capabilities

June 21, 2021

Speech context for LiveScrypt

Automatic speech-to-text transcription is a marvel. But one limitation has been the transcription of proper nouns that don’t appear in any dictionary, such as certain surnames and the names of companies and products. For unknown words like these, the technology will output the closest match in its dictionary – with potentially confusing results for anyone following along.

Now in beta, LiveScrypt’s speech context feature aims to address this. With it, you can drastically increase LiveScrypt’s ability to transcribe unknown words by supplying the system with them beforehand.
