■ 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.

Aiko is fantastic for generating subtitles for my videos. It's easy to use but still very powerful. I'm very thankful to the developer for making this app for free, it allows me to create subtitles for my video project so people with hearing problems can enjoy them too. My only wishlist feature would be the ability to generate subtitles that removes the subtitles from screen when it's silent (no dialogue), currently there's no pauses between subtitles which means text is always visible even when no one is taking.
Just what I needed

Had an hour long recording in Swedish. Took about 30 minute to transcribe. The result was alright, good enough to search for something specific and then go back to the recording based on the timestamp.Wish timestamps were enabled by default, also would be nice to be able to search while the transcription is still going on.
great transciption and seems to be private
