Tips for Non-English Languages
- Set your language in Settings > Language before dictating. Auto-detect works, but manual selection is more accurate.
- Speak clearly in the target language. Mixing languages in a single dictation may reduce accuracy.
- Use the Dictionary to add proper nouns, technical terms, and region-specific words.
- AI Polish works best with English. For other languages, polish quality depends on AI model coverage for that language.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I dictate in two languages in the same session? Yes, but you should switch the language setting between dictations for best accuracy. See Multi-Language Dictation.
Why is the accuracy different between languages? Speech recognition models have varying training data by language. High-resource languages like English, Spanish, and Mandarin have the most training data and therefore the highest accuracy.
My language is not listed. Can I still use TalkWriter? TalkWriter supports the languages listed above. If your language is not shown, it is not currently available.
Does AI Polish work in all languages? AI Polish is most effective in English. It works in many other languages but the quality may vary.
