Wrong language or garbage transcription

If the transcript is in the wrong language or contains unexpected text, first check that VoicePad’s language setting matches what you are speaking. Quality also depends on the microphone, surroundings and selected model.

Check the language

  1. Open Settings → Language.
  2. Select the language you will speak: the documented options are English and German.
  3. Record one clear sentence in that language.
  4. Stop and review the result.

The documented workflow uses the selected language instead of automatic detection. Change it before switching languages.


If speech is missing or fragmented

Test the microphone in another recording app, check the selected input and move closer to it. Adjust sensitivity gradually if your build offers it, then compare another short recording.


If background noise becomes text

Try a quieter position and check Environment Mode where available. Outdoor mode may help with noise, but strong wind or nearby conversation can still reduce accuracy.


If names or technical terms are wrong

Correct the transcript before using it. On supported Windows builds, add a specific replacement to the Custom Dictionary and test it in several sentences.


If the language and audio are correct

Try a larger speech model supported by your device, allowing for more storage and processing time. No setting guarantees a fixed accuracy percentage. Always check names, amounts and other important details.


Ask for help

Send support your platform, app version, model, selected language and a short example of the error. Avoid including sensitive dictation content.
