Speech Dictionary

The Windows Speech-to-text software includes a dictionary used to:

• Add a new word to the dictionary.
• Prevent a word from being transcribed.
• Change or delete existing words.

Add Words Directly the Speech Dictionary from Within Camtasia Studio

Add words directly to the Speech Dictionary from the Captions tab in Camtasia Studio. Just highlight the word in the caption text box, right-click, and choose Add to dictionary from the menu.

This option does not bring up the Speech Dictionary. For best audio transcription, after adding a word, open the Windows Speech Dictionary and enter a vocal pronunciation of the word.
