# <font color="#3694fc">//</font> Find & Replace 

**Find & Replace** in **ElevateAI Echo Real-Time Transcription** (RTT) enables automatic word substitution during transaction processing.  

This feature improves transcription accuracy and consistency by correcting recurring misrecognitions and/or enforcing standardized spelling across brands, products, and domains. 

A **Find & Replace pair** consists of a Find Term and a corresponding Replace Term. During real-time transcription, every instance of the **Find Term** is replaced with the specified **Replace Term**. 

# <font color="#3694fc">//</font> Use Find & Replace to: 

- Ensure consistent capitalization and spelling for **brand names and trademarks**&#x20;
- Correct words that the transcription engine **often misidentifies**&#x20;
- Standardize use of **internal terminology or abbreviations**&#x20;

**Example uses of Find & Replace:&#x20;**

| **FIND Word**  | **REPLACE Word**  | **Behavior**                       |
| -------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| elevateai      | ElevateAI         | Standardized brand capitalization  |
| Chris          | Christopher       | Agent nickname expansion           |
| Bannana, Inc   | \<blank>          | Redacts the customer name          |

# <font color="#3694fc">//</font> Things to Keep in Mind: Limitations & Behaviors 

- The **Replace Term** is inserted exactly as entered, *including capitalization*&#x20;
- Pairs are processed in list order, from top to bottom&#x20;
- Duplicate **Find Terms** are not allowed, but duplicate **Replace Terms** are supported&#x20;
- A blank **Replace Term** field will redact the **Find Term** from the final transcript, by replacing the selected **Find Term** with the \<blank> **Replace Term**&#x20;
- Each API token supports **up to 100 Find & Replace pairs per language**&#x20;
- Each token may have multiple language lists, but only **one list per language**&#x20;
- The **phrase limit counter** updates automatically as pairs are added and removed&#x20;
- **Find & Replace lists** are tied to the API token used when connecting to the API&#x20;
- Providing descriptive names to your API Tokens will make managing multiple tokens and their associated lists much simpler across your team or enterprise&#x20;

  **NOTE:&#x20;**&#x57;hen the **100-pair Find & Replace limit** is reached, existing entries must be deleted before adding new ones.

# <font color="#3694fc">// </font>Using Find & Replace 



## 1. Manage at the API Token Level 

- **Find & Replace** lists are attached to specific API tokens, allowing token-level customization&#x20;
- For example, your Customer Support token might include different substitutions than your Sales token&#x20;

## 2. Access the Phrase Editor 

- Log into the **ElevateAI Portal&#x20;**\<<u>app.elevateai.com</u>>&#x20;
- Your security level within your account determines your access to the Boosted Phrases list&#x20;

**Access Level by Role:**

| Role      | Access Level                      |
| --------- | --------------------------------- |
| Owner     | Full Access (View, Edit, Create)  |
| Admin     | Full Access (View, Edit, Create)  |
| API User  | View Only Access                  |
| Explore   | No Access                         |

 

- Navigate to **Manage API Tokens**&#x20;
- Locate the desired token and select **Edit Phrases&#x20;**&#x74;o open th&#x65;**&#x20;Phrase Editor UI**&#x20;
- Only account Owners or Admin can edit a Find & Replace pair.

## 3. Select a Language 

- Choose the language you wish to edit from the dropdown
- Each API token supports one Find & Replace list **per language**&#x20;

:::hint{type="info"}
**NOTE:&#x20;**&#x41; dot next to a language indicates that there is an existing **Find & Replace** list  
:::



## 4. Add or Edit Pairs 

- Click **Add Find & Replace&#x20;**&#x74;o create a new entry, then enter your **Find & Replace** terms&#x20;
- Click **Save** to attach the updated list to the token&#x20;
- The **limit counter** will update when you add a new Find & Replace pair
- You can **add up to 100 Find & Replace pairs** to be processed during transcription.&#x20;

## 5. Delete or Copy Pairs 

- To **Delete** a **Find & Replace** pair, click the **Trash icon** beside the entry&#x20;
- To **Copy** a **Find & Replace** pair, select **Copy From** to duplicate a list from another token&#x20;

:::hint{type="info"}
Copied lists must be in the same language as the original token&#x20;
:::

:::hint{type="info"}
**NOTE:** When coping a list from one token to another, duplicated **Find & Replace** Term Pairs are ignored and will not be copied over. Coping a list could result in the limit being exceeded. Lists exceeding the limit must be reduced before saving. 
:::

- ElevateAI will return a list of tokens, allowing you to select the list of Find & Replace pairs you want to copy from
- A dot next to a language indicates that there is an existing Find & Replace pair set on that token

## 6. Disabling Find & Replace 

- To **transcribe without Find & Replace**, use a token that **does not have an associated list**.&#x20;
- T&#x6F;**&#x20;remove the** **Find & Replace** feature completely, delete or disassociate the list in the portal.&#x20;

# <font color="#3694fc">//</font> Best Practices 

- **Use descriptive token names** to simplify multi-list management&#x20;
- **Keep lists concise** to minimize performance overhead&#x20;
- **Use version control across your lists** before making major edits&#x20;
- **Test results regularly** to validate accuracy improvements&#x20;

**PRO TIP:&#x20;**&#x55;se **Find & Replace** sparingly, for critical terms. Overuse of **Find & Replace** may cause unintended substitutions.
