# TrainCustomSpeechWord

Adds a word to a custom word database for speech-to-text.

If the word already exists in the custom word database, this action overwrites the word. You can therefore use this action to change the associated base word and weight.

Type: synchronous

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`database` | The name of the database to add the word to. | Yes
`word` | The word to add. | Yes
`baseword` | A word that exists in the base language pack, that could appear in the same context or a similar context as the word you are adding. For example, if you are adding a company name, you could use a company name that already exists in the base language pack. Specifying a base word is optional, but provides Media Server with some information about the context in which the custom word is expected to appear. | No
`weight` | A multiplier (from 0 to 1, default 0.5) that specifies how likely the word is to appear, relative to the `baseword`. For example, if the word you are adding is only slightly less likely to appear than the `baseword`, you might set this parameter to `0.8`. If the word is much less likely to appear you might set this parameter to `0.1`. | No

## Example

The following example adds the word "AcmeSoft" to the database "words" and instructs Media Server that the word is expected to appear in the same context or a similar context as the word "Microsoft".

    /action=TrainCustomSpeechWord&database=words
                                 &word=AcmeSoft
                                 &baseword=Microsoft
                                 &weight=0.7
