Add words that are never recognized. This tool has changed considerably recently.
Updates
We've been working to improve the MyWords experience, so if you used it before 2024, it will be quite a bit different than before. At that time, we rolled out a brand new, specialized medical speech model that included many of the words that have been reported to us in the past, as well as many other optimizations, to provide much better overall accuracy.
With our latest update in April 2025, your MyWords will also now apply to all features of Talkatoo, not just direct dictation. You can add a word that is often incorrect in your AutoSOAP or custom notes.
Adding to MyWords
If you have a word that is never recognized, or has a unique spelling, you can add it to help Talkatoo recognize the word.
With MyWords, you're not programming Talkatoo, as it almost certainly already knows the word. You're helping Talkatoo to prioritize the word over other similar sounding possibilities.
To add a word on the desktop app:
1. Click the 3 dots on the Dictation Bar and select My Words. 
Type your word and press Enter. Be sure to use the appropriate case for how you want the word to appear, ie capitalizing proper nouns.
At this time, the only way to add words is through the desktop app, so even if you're only recording notes on your phone, you would need to manage your MyWords on the desktop app.
If you find that after adding a word, other similar sounding words, or words that start with the same letter, are being replaced by this new word, you should remove the word in question.
This means it's a word we've already adjusted, so having it in your list is causing it to overpower other words.
Report the word using the link at the top of MyWords to let us know what is going on.
Another possibility is that Talkatoo is expecting the word to be pronounced differently. One good way to check if you're pronouncing it correctly is to Google the word and pronunciation. e.g. "Hematochezia pronunciation".
See the video below for an example.
For other tips on improving the accuracy of dictations in Talkatoo, see this article.
If there is a word that you have added to My Words, and you are positive you are pronouncing it correctly, but it's still not being transcribed, you can report it by clicking A word I entered isn't working... at the top of My Words.
Multi User Accounts
If you have a multi-user account, note that MyWords are individual to each login, and not synced between accounts.
