    Missing definitions for difficult words

    Hello! I am a great fan of this bot, and my friends and I have been using this bot for our study server. We noticed however that a lot of the difficult words (especially medical terms) could not be searched by the bot. I checked the APIs used for the bot, and noticed that the Merriam-Webster dictionary was in there. Would it also be possible to have the Merriam-Webster Medical Dictionary included? Or perhaps something that could widen its search. Thank you so much for your help! Super appreciate this.

  • First part of audio response cut off

    First part of audio response cut off

    Sometimes when the bot joins a voice channel, the green light shows but there is no audio for a couple seconds so you only hear the last part of the response. Seems to only happen after the bot hasn't been used in a while.
