Dictionary entry status shows at an individual term level, whether it has been successfully applied, and can be expected to appear in conversation transcripts. Possible term statuses include:

• Pending: Waiting to be applied
• Active: Available in transcription
• Failed: Not applied due to error
• Invalid: Not supported or incorrectly formatted

Rules for EVTS dictionary entries

• No digits in terms (spell out numbers)
• No hyphens or unsupported special characters
• Acronyms must include periods (for example, F.B.I.)
• Enter multi-word terms with spaces (the system converts internally)

Character limits

• Term: 30 characters
• Display As: 50 characters

Validation and errors

The system validates dictionary entries when you add or edit them. An error can occur under these circumstances:

• The term includes unsupported characters
• The format is invalid (for example, incorrect acronym format)
• The dialect or engine combination is not supported

Validation applies to both the user interface and APIs.

• Dictionary entries are engine-specific
• Entries are not automatically migrated between engines
• Recreate terms when switching engines
• The same term can exist in both engines
