Meeting glossary: so captions get names right
Save people's names, product names and fixed translations for your company or just for you; captions, translations and minutes use that spelling.
2 min read
Machine captions often mishear proper names: company names, product names, partners' names, industry terms. A Glossary tells XomiW these words in advance so it hears them better, keeps their translation, and spells them right in the minutes.
Two kinds of glossary
| Glossary | Who sees it | Who edits it |
|---|---|---|
| Company glossary | Everyone in the company workspace | Only owners and admins |
| Your glossary | Only you | You |
Each glossary holds up to 300 terms, with up to 20 glossaries of each kind. A personal workspace has only your own glossaries.
Create and edit a glossary
Website
- Open Settings → Meeting glossary → Manage glossaries (or press Manage glossaries on the Start meeting screen).
- Press Add a glossary (or Add a company glossary if you are an admin), name it, press Create.
- Press Edit: add terms one by one (term, translation if any, language of the term), or Paste a list.
- Press Save.
Mobile app
- Open Account → Settings → Meeting glossary.
- Press Add a glossary (or Add a company glossary), name it, press Create.
- Tap the glossary: add terms with Add a term, or Paste a list.
- Press Save at the bottom of the page.
Paste a whole list
One term per line. With a translation, write term = translation, or paste two columns straight from Excel / Google Sheets:
XomiW = エクソミ
Minh Long Company = Công ty Minh Long
Osaka
XomiW skips blank lines, lines starting with #, a header row and duplicates (case insensitive). Press Save to keep them.
Using it in a meeting
On the Start meeting screen, Glossary lists the glossaries you can use, all ticked by default; untick the ones that do not apply. During that session:
- Captions prefer the words in the glossary (and their translations).
- Translations keep the fixed translations when the translation service supports it.
- Minutes: when you write the minutes, XomiW spells names and products the glossary's way.
A glossary helps, it does not guarantee: still check names and numbers in the minutes. See also Live and bilingual captions.
