# How well does OpenAI speech-to-text handle product names and version strings?

I’m looking at using OpenAI speech-to-text for recorded support calls, where people mention product names, model numbers, and software versions. Those details matter more than a perfectly polished transcript, and they’re often spoken quickly or with unusual pronunciation.

How has it handled **product names and version strings** in your recordings? Do you pass a vocabulary list or any other context, and does that improve accuracy without making the transcript less faithful to what was said?
