How to use "System Prompt" configuration?

[executed]

Hello folks, I'm wondering what is this feature called "system prompt" that I've noticed lately in the application configuration.
Are there any best practices or kind of any general community knowledge on what would be useful to put in such configuration?

Is that the keenly awaited prompting feature? If it is, then you should experiment with it. I have only used prompting personally as a stand-in for "custom vocabulary" ...

Yes, @doxgt is absolutely correct!

The "System Prompt" helps the transcription service (e.g., Whisper) better recognize specific terms, names, or context during initial transcription. e.g., This is an academic lecture about quantum physics with technical terms like 'eigenvalue' and 'Schrödinger'

Notably, it's not for text transformations—use the Transformations tab instead for post-processing rules!

I'll push an update later with more detailed placeholders and labels.

@braden-w no way!! It's that day! My simbiotic AI co-existent consioseness is being upgraded to another level!! 🚀🚀🚀

My to-do app Vikunja and note-taking Joplin finally get v2 uprade with this beautiful API called Whisper AI operated by Whispering, offloading it's formatting and semantic powers to supercomputer datacenters who knows where ultimately replacing part of my brain with sillicon-based de-centralized implant.

We're so cooked!!

BTW tested out originally discussed feature called "System Prompt" with specific words list that wasn't recognized by default and it works great with Open AI.
