Before you start

  • A signed-in ScribeFlash account
  • A list of terms whose spoken and preferred written forms differ

01

Create a glossary table

  1. 1Open Account Settings and select Glossary.
  2. 2Select New glossary table.
  3. 3Give the table a clear name and optional description based on a client, product, industry, or study.
  4. 4Open the table to manage its terms.

02

Add and maintain terms

  • Enter the spoken term and the preferred replacement text.
  • Optionally set a language and case-sensitive matching.
  • Use Bulk import to paste comma- or tab-separated term and replacement pairs, one per line.
  • Search, edit, or delete existing terms as terminology changes.
  • Use Export when you need a reusable copy of the table.

03

Apply glossaries to research

  1. 1Attach glossary tables in Project settings so new interviews can inherit them.
  2. 2During interview upload, keep the inherited set or choose a custom set for that interview.
  3. 3In the Transcript Editor, review the effective glossary tables and their terms.
  4. 4Use Apply glossary when you need to re-apply replacements to the transcript, then review the resulting text.

Re-applying a glossary may update current transcript text from the original ASR text. Review important passages afterward, especially if analysis already exists.
