+## Custom dictionary
+
+utter's dictionary is a separate TOML file for correcting repeated
+speech-to-text mistakes. It is local-only and is reloaded on the next dictation,
+so dictionary edits do not require restarting utter.
+
+- Linux: `~/.config/utter/dictionary.toml`
+- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/utter/dictionary.toml`
+
+Use the CLI on either platform:
+
+```bash
+utter dictionary add LUFS --replace luffs
+utter dictionary add AcmeCloud --replace "acme cloud" --replace "acme clout"
+utter dictionary list
+utter dictionary remove LUFS
+utter dictionary path
+```
+
+Dictionary file format:
+
+```toml
+version = 1
+
+[[entries]]
+term = "LUFS"
+replace = ["luffs"]
+
+[[entries]]
+term = "AcmeCloud"
+replace = ["acme cloud", "acme clout"]
+```
+
+`term` is pasted exactly as written, including casing and punctuation. Each
+`replace` phrase is a heard-as transcription that should be rewritten to
+`term`; at least one `--replace` phrase is required when adding an entry.
+Matching is case-insensitive, Unicode-aware, phrase-boundary-aware, and
+non-recursive. Terms and replacement phrases are limited to 60 displayed
+characters.
+
 ## Env var overrides
 
 Every field above is overridable at runtime via an environment variable with the same name, upper-cased and prefixed `UTTER_` — e.g. `UTTER_AUTO_PASTE=0` wins over `auto_paste = true` in the file. Useful for one-off runs (`UTTER_AUTO_PASTE=0 utter daemon`) or systemd-drop-in tweaks without editing the file:
