■ 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 favors accuracy over speed. However, performance is expected to improve in the coming months.

‣ 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.

La miglior app di trascrizione sull'App Store

Utilizza uno dei modelli migliori per la trascrizione di file audio, che è proprietario di OpenAI, solo che non c'è bisogno di installare cose complicate che trovate nella pagina ufficiale di Github, in più è completamente gratuita. La consiglio molto

Great app

Yesterday, I used this Whisper transcription app to transcribe a two-hour long meeting and the result was surprisingly accurate in terms of word recognition and punctuation. Kudos to the author!
