3.4 Upload scripts and add custom vocabulary (optional but recommanded)

Why add contexts? Short answer: improve translation accuracy.

If you upload your church service or event related contents, for example, your sermon scripts, event agenda, both the transcribing and translation will be way more accurate. Because our AI will automatically extract key words from your content (jargons, terminologies, human names, address, company names, your brand name, event name, etc) and refer them when transcribing/translating, thus greatly improve accuracy.

Recommendations of what scripts to upload:

For Churches: Sermon scripts, general meeting agendas.

For Events/Conferences: Event agendas, what you display on event websites (save as PDF and upload, or copy paste everything to a word document and upload).

Recommendations of what custom keywords to input:

If you already uploaded files, this step is optional as we will automatically extract keywords from your file.

If you only need to input a few important words, do not want to upload files, we suggest you specify these vocabularies:

For Church: your church's name, address, pastors names.

For Events: your organisation name, e.g. CSIRO; your brand: kids4kids, aboriginal country name when acknowledge country: Eora nation, keynote speakers' names, etc.
