How language detection works

Epilude processes one language at a time based on the language you've selected in Settings. It does not auto-detect which language you're speaking — you choose the language before dictating, and Epilude optimizes transcription for that language.

To switch languages, change the setting before your next dictation.

Multi-language usage

If you speak multiple languages, keep these tips in mind:

• Epilude works best with one primary language per dictation. Occasional borrowed words (e.g., a French phrase in English) usually transcribe fine, but alternating languages sentence by sentence reduces accuracy.
• Select only the languages you actually use. Fewer configured languages means better accuracy for each one.

English-only features

Smart Formatting voice cues — like "comma", "new line", and "list" — currently work in English only. For other languages, punctuation is handled automatically by Epilude's built-in transcription model.

Tips

• Choose the specific regional variant for best accuracy (e.g., "English (US)" vs. "English (UK)")
• If transcription accuracy drops, verify the correct language is selected in Settings → Dictation → Language
