What it is
A glossary is a set of proper nouns and technical terms. The active set is injected automatically at session start, so both speech recognition and translation prefer your exact wording.
Smart context auto-collects terms that keep coming up in live speech and proposes them as candidates. Press [Apply now] and they take effect at the next sentence boundary without losing a single caption — a loop that gets more accurate the longer the talk runs.
When to use it
How to use it
[Create new set]
Create a new set in the console's Glossary. First time? Use [Insert sample set (IT conference)] to see the format.
One entry per line
The source=translation form forces a translation; without =, the entry boosts recognition. Lines starting with # are comments.
Write the background context
Describe the topic and product background in free text — it's injected alongside the entries as a recognition and translation hint.
Check [Use as active]
The active set is injected once, automatically, whenever you start a live caption session.
[Apply now] while live
Add the candidates smart context has collected, press [Apply now], and they take effect losslessly at the next sentence boundary.
The format — one source=translation per line
A glossary set is plain text. One entry per line — source=translation forces a translation, a bare term boosts recognition, and lines starting with # are comments.

Registered terms apply automatically at session start, and both speech recognition and translation prefer your exact wording.

Smart context — a glossary that learns as it listens
As live speech accumulates, recurring-term candidates refresh every 30 seconds. AI suggestions bundle terms, translation pairs, and background context — only the items you select are added to the glossary.
Applies losslessly at the next sentence boundary
Auto-collection
Terms that come up often in the talk are proposed as candidates.
[Apply now], losslessly
New terms take effect at the next sentence boundary without a caption gap. Even if you never press it, they apply automatically from the next reconnect or session rotation.
Longer means sharper
In an hour-long keynote, the second half translates more accurately than the first — the terms have been piling up.
Requirements & limitations
- The active set is injected once at session start — glossary edits made while live apply from the next session (smart context's [Apply now] is the exception).
- Glossaries are stored encrypted in this browser with AES-256-GCM — they stay on your device and never go to a server.
