■ FAQ
‣ Can I edit the text in the app?
I don't plan to support any editing. Export the transcription and edit it in a proper text editor.
‣ Why is the app so large?
The app delivers the highest quality transcription on the market for 100 different languages. Rather than asking why it's so large, the real question is how is it so small.
‣ Why is the transcription so slow?
The app favors accuracy over speed. However, performance is expected to improve in the coming months.
‣ Why must I keep the iOS app open while it transcribes?
iOS apps are fundamentally restricted from operating in the background for extended periods.
‣ Can I delete some of the languages to save space?
This is unfortunately not possible. The model has all the languages stored together in a way that makes it impossible to remove just some languages.

I transcribe the chinese speech into text and it works good. However it is without punctuation, but it is still working good for long audio files and i summarize it using ai tools.
Transcription crash
TLN928
I'm experiencing significant issues with the app's recording and transcription feature, which is hindering my workflow.1. Importing Long Recordings:When I import an external audio file of a long meeting, the transcription fails. The tool gets stuck, often looping the last few words, which results in an incomplete and unusable transcript.2. In-App Recording Instability:Recording directly within the app yields better transcription accuracy, but the recordings are fragile. They are frequently interrupted by incoming calls or other app notifications, causing the app to crash and lose the entire recording.While the voice-to-text engine for Cantonese is excellent, these reliability problems make the app impractical for my needs. I am deeply discouraged from continuing to use it until these stability issues are resolved.

1. Make sure you have enabled the "reduce repetition" settings. Repititions are unfortunately a general flaw in the Whisper AI model used by the app.2. Make sure you enable the "use new audio recorder" setting which does handle incoming calls correctly.

- New app icon. You can revert to the old one in the settings.
- Added setting to remove silent parts in audio, which can improve transcription quality and reduce repitition issues.
