📈 How to improve the accuracy
You can improve the accuracy of the real time Japanese translation,
in just 4 steps:
1. Go to the “Terminology” section
2. Improve the Speech Recognition of the AI
- Go to the Speech Recognition section.
- Select the language spoken by the meeting participants.
- Add words or sentences participants are likely to say, such as names, locations, or industry-specific terms.
The words that you add will have higher importance and will be more likely to be recognized.
3. Improve the Translation of the AI
- Go to Translation section
- Select the language of the translation
- Insert the words or sentences that you want to swap as an equation (e.g., acadu=Akkadu)
This ensures whenever the AI sees the word "acadu" (incorrect), it automatically changes it to "Akkadu" (correct).
4. Click Save
You can insert terminologies at any time, even during your meetings.
Make sure after you Save, to click Pause then click Start again so the changes take effect.
