Descript’s NEW Transcription Glossary

I always wondered whether Descript‘s transcription process would properly transcribe proper nouns like Audio-Technica or tricky words like fractalchris. Well…

From Descript: One of our most requested features has arrived. Now you can add proper nouns — like Descript! — and other tricky words Descript has trouble with to a transcription glossary. Once you add a word to the transcription glossary, it’ll show up across all your Projects on that Drive. To access and update the transcription glossary, click the arrow next to your Project’s name. The transcription glossary doesn’t currently work with live transcription, but you can expect that functionality next year.

I don’t use Descript, but have you tried adding any words to your transcription glossary? Does it help Descript recognize and transcribe those words?
