Last Updated:Sep 10, 2026

Hotwords are keywords or phrases that need to be prioritized for accurate recognition in a specific business domain. If some words are not recognized accurately, add them to a hotword list to improve recognition results.

Ways to create hotwords

Use the console to configure project hotwords, or use POP API to create business-specific hotword lists. The following table compares the two methods.
