Learning that compounds

It gets better as you use it.

Dictation shouldn’t be exactly as good on day one hundred as on day one. Phrasora is built to learn — from the corrections you already make, in whatever app you’re in — so your names, your jargon, and your voice come out right more often over time.

Works on Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android, and the web.

The proof

From every term wrong to every term right.

In our learning proof, a cold start that misheard 15 of 15 specialized terms reaches 15 of 15 correct after natural corrections — measured on a held-out set of different sentences, so the gain comes from learning alone. On unrelated text, it made zero false insertions.

A term isn’t enforced after a single correction, only after a few — the ladder resists premature, unreliable learning.

Cold start

Empty dictionary: 15 of 15 specialized terms misheard.

After corrections

Every term correct, with zero false insertions on unrelated text.

Ambient learning

It learns from edits you already make.

You don’t train Phrasora — you just write. When you fix a transcribed word in your editor, your email, or a chat, Phrasora quietly notices the correction and learns from it. The same fix a couple of times, and the term is yours for good.

Every learned moment is announced the instant it happens, with eight seconds to undo. Nothing is changed behind your back, and a one-off typo never hardens into a habit.

Writing memory

A private memory of how you write.

Beyond single words, Phrasora keeps a short, private note of the patterns that recur in your dictation — the names you mention, the spellings you prefer, the context around your work. It uses that only to make your own cleanup sharper, so the right version of a tricky name shows up without you spelling it every time.

The memory is observational, never forced: it helps when it plausibly fits and stays out of the way otherwise. It belongs to your account, is never sold, and is deleted when you delete your account.

Two more ways to teach it

Add a word, and sort the sound-alikes.

Add from selection

Met a word Phrasora hasn’t seen? Select it anywhere — a name in an email, a term in a doc — and add it to your dictionary straight from the selection. The fastest way to teach a new word without dictating it.

Sound-alike disambiguation

Teach Phrasora a pair of words that sound the same, and it stops guessing — it picks the right one from the sentence around it. Homophones that used to trip up dictation resolve by context.

Common questions

The questions people ask first.

How does Phrasora learn my words?

It watches the corrections you already make. When you fix a transcribed word in any app, Phrasora notices the change and, after it sees the same fix a couple of times, adds the term to your dictionary. There's no separate training step — your normal editing is the lesson.

Does it change my text silently?

No. Every learned term is announced the moment it happens, with eight seconds to undo. Phrasora never quietly alters how your words come out, and it requires a few repetitions before it enforces a term — so a one-off slip never becomes a rule.

What is the writing memory?

Alongside your dictionary, Phrasora keeps a short, private note of how you tend to write — the names, spellings, and context that recur in your dictation — and uses it only to make your own cleanup more accurate. It's tied to your account, never sold, and deleted when you delete your account.

How do sound-alike words get sorted out?

When you teach Phrasora a pair of words that sound the same, it doesn't guess blindly — it picks the right one from the sentence around it. So homophones that used to trip up dictation resolve by context instead of luck.

Can I add a word without dictating it?

Yes. Select any text — a name, a term, a spelling — and add it to your dictionary straight from the selection, on Mac and the share sheet on mobile. It's the fastest way to teach Phrasora a word it hasn't met yet.
