I was able to use this on a mezcal tasting tour where the tour guide only knew Spanish and I didn’t. I also used this to communicate with the taxi driver to get tips on what to visit in Mexico City. Looking forward to using the app in other countries!It’s also super convenient to transcribe voicemails with this app as the iOS native transcription or Whatsapp transcription aren’t that great, especially if someone speaks multiple languages in the same sentence.
• New animated splash screen on launch
• Fixed shared audio notes opening to the wrong screen
• Fixed a crash exporting long PDF transcripts, plus wrong voice note duration
• Fixed duplicate entries in session history
