The worst thing is when captions try to understand names. For example my name is Simion, and people often call me "Simi" which captions ofter miss and take it as "see me" or some kind of variation like this.

Do you feed any kind of names in the tie break?

If you add your name into the prompt that adds context for the LLM-check, it will from context use "Simi" and "see me" correctly. Feel free to try :)

This is the same mechanism that changes "Tom" to "Thom" in the Tears of Steel demo (turn off elevenlabs for that run because it magically knows when it's transcribing ToS ;)

It will probably even be able to correctly pick it up in a longer text purely from context, though it might still miss-spell your name because it has no way to know the actual spelling. Same would be true for a human subtitler btw :)
