Custom Dictionary
The dictionary lets your church define custom translation terms — church names, theological vocabulary, place names, and proper nouns that should always translate a specific way.
Open Account → Settings → Dictionary. Custom dictionary is available on Pro and Premium plans.
Dictionary lives under Account → Settings (not in the top navigation). Old bookmarks to /dictionary redirect there automatically.
How dictionary terms work
When live speech matches a dictionary source phrase, the target translation is substituted automatically during translation.
Dictionary entries apply to new live translation only. Past sessions in Sermon History keep the wording captured at recording time unless you edit them manually.
Add a term
- Enter the Original text (source language phrase).
- Enter the Translation (how it should appear).
- Click + Add.
Example: source 여호와 → target Yahweh
Edit or delete terms
- Click the pencil icon to edit a term inline
- Click the delete icon to remove a term
