Speech to text capitalizes words randomly

For some reason, my speech to text always puts capital letters on the words God and Director. There are a few others, but as a folklorist who loves theater and film, those are the ones that come up the most. Is there a way I can get it to stop doing this without turning off capitalization entirely?
