Puts the names a speech-to-text model mis-hears into the transcription prompt Hermes sends with each voice message: terms you list (globally or per surface) and names found in this profile's memories/USER.md and MEMORY.md, most important last, within the 896 characters Hermes keeps for Whisper-family backends; your stt.prompt stays in front. Notes written in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese or Turkish can be named in the languages setting.

## Good to know before installing

Register() adds one pre_transcription hook that returns a new prompt string; memory-derived names go only to local backends (faster-whisper, local_command) unless allow_remote is set, and the memory files are not read otherwise; reads at most 256 KB per memory file; no tools, network access, subprocesses or writes; Hermes uploads the prompt with the audio to the configured STT provider.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install stt-vocab
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable stt-vocab
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
