Personal Dictionary

Your Words, Your Way

Brand names, technical terms, and proper nouns often get mangled by voice recognition. Define them once, and ParrotKey remembers them forever.

Never Misspell Brand Names Again

"DJ.Studio" becomes "dj studio" or "DJ studio". Never quite right. With your personal dictionary, say "djs" and get "DJ.Studio" every time.

Voice: "Check out djs for music production"
Without dictionary: "Check out dj studio for music production"
Voice: "Check out djs for music production"
With dictionary: "Check out DJ.Studio for music production"
