I'm currently using this software with voice recognition, but when recognizing Chinese, some characters that sound the same are displayed differently. Is there a way to create a custom vocabulary of the words I speak, so that voice input doesn't produce incorrect characters every time, even though the tones are the same ?

A: Hi chinsung, I’ll need to verify whether custom vocabulary is available for voice input on your device. Which device are you using? Could you share one or two examples of the Chinese words you intended and what Acti transcribed instead?
i use android vivo x300， example: my name 進松 , output is 勁松 ，These two have the same tone, but different fonts. Is there a way to create a custom vocabulary of the words I speak
Thanks, chinsung. I’ve added your Vivo X300 and the 進松 → 勁松 example to the report. I still need to confirm whether custom vocabulary is available for voice input on Android.
I’ve never used the custom vocabulary offered by Android voice input; it’s all in English, and I don’t quite understand the settings!! other example: 中興南路----中心南路 This is an issue that tends to occur only in Chinese, and I was wondering whether it could be customized to display what I want 中興南路
Thanks for the extra example. I’ve added 中興南路 → 中心南路 and your difficulty understanding the English voice-input settings to the report. I still need to verify Acti’s custom vocabulary support on Android before suggesting a setting.
I am writing to request the addition of Nepali (नेपाली) to your list of supported languages. It would be nice to have the language available for Transcribe and translate.
Nepali is spoken by over 30 million people worldwide, and having the interface and content available in Nepali would greatly improve accessibility and the overall user experience for myself and many other...

A: Hi raj182, our published language list currently shows Nepali for typing, but not voice transcription: https://openacti.com/languages/
I’ve recorded your request for Nepali transcription and translation, as well as a Nepali interface and content. I still need to verify the translation and interface coverage, and I don’t have a confirmed roadmap or release date to share.
I am currently using typeless app for transcription and translation. They do really good job in Cantonese colloquial expressions, spoken language, slang and mixture with English and Chinese in one sentence. Am I not sure how good Acti in that part?

A: Hi Kaman, I don’t have a side-by-side Cantonese test with Typeless to share, especially for slang and sentences that mix Cantonese and English.
Which device are you using? Could you share a couple of typical phrases and whether you want the output to keep the spoken Cantonese wording or translate it into another language? That would help us assess the specific result you’re looking for.
I am using iPhone and Mac. Actually there is a lot of slang. It is not possible to give everything here. I am not sure if you can find those databases for your AI to learn them. If I find good database I will let you know
Thanks, Kaman. iPhone and Mac, noted. You don’t need to list every expression here. I’ve added the Cantonese slang and mixed-language use case to our feedback, along with your suggestion about reference databases.
If you come across a useful source, feel free to share the link. I can’t confirm whether we could use a particular database or how it would affect recognition yet.
The Cantonese market is actually an overlooked yet massive one. I'm from Hong Kong myself, and local consumers have very high purchasing power. But right now, there is basically nothing on the market that matches the quality of Typeless. If you could build the same quality I'm sure plenty of people in Hong Kong would buy it, especially since Typeless currently cost $12/mth for unlimited use
That local perspective helps, Kaman. I’ve added your point about the Hong Kong audience and the value you get from Typeless to your feedback. Getting everyday Cantonese, slang and mixed-language speech right is the standard you’re looking for, and I understand why that matters more than simply listing Cantonese as a supported language.
I'm a bit confused about the setup. On my Android device I understand that it is a keyboard replacement rather than a floating widget or accessory tool. I go into the settings. I see all of these categories (for example, "Extract what matters," and then an "Add" button). Does that mean I have to go through and add the things that I want it to be able to do? If I don't install that, will it not...

A: Hi JustS, thanks for explaining where the setup gets confusing. The Add button saves that Act to your collection so you can use it again. For example, adding “Extract what matters” puts that Act in your collection. You can then assign it to the ActiWheel or a keyboard keybind. You don’t need to keep adding and removing the same Act each time you want to use it.
Please do this campaign until next year, currently i do not have enough funds

A: Hi sleepyhead, thanks for your interest in Acti. I understand wanting to wait until the timing works for your budget.
I don’t have a confirmed closing date to share, so I can’t promise the deal will still be available next year. I’ve noted your request for a longer run.
