FAQ

Can I add my own terms?

No — curated by Nautis team. Contact support for missing or wrong terms.

Why are some letters greyed out?

No terms for that letter, or none in the active category filter.

Pronunciation button does nothing.

Browser speech synthesis API. Some browsers/OSs disable by default. Check sound permissions.

Can I share a link to a specific term?

Term opens in a dialog so URL doesn't change. Ask the recipient to open glossary and search.

Is the glossary the same for every organization?

Yes — global to Nautis. Your filters and searches are only on your screen.
