■ 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.

More FAQs on the website.

Completely useless in Spanish

nbeuchat on

Switzerland

I have a video with background music and I chose Spanish. The translation of the music (without actual lyrics) gives: El día de la muerte de un niño en el hospital de Colombia. La muerte de un niño en el hospital de Colombia. En Colombia, hay más de 2 millones de muertes por día. WHAT THE HECK???

nach erneutem Versuch: Unbrauchbar...

manchmal funktioniert's - regelmässig aber erhalte ich komplett irritierende Reaktionen - Deutsch wird Koreanisch oder Norwegisch - oder sinnlose Leersätze in unendlicher Reihenfolge. Dringend abzuraten, so etwas zu unterstützen.

Has already saved me a lot of time. We used this tool for your interview and were then able to transform it into a well-formulated interview within a few minutes using GPT

Une perle !

Très bonne application qui fonctionne très bien sur iPhone comme iPad. Manque juste qu’elle soit traduite, et qu’on puisse sélectionner le niveau du modèle. Dommage que l’icône ne soit pas + pro, ça fait un peu enfantin.

Fantastisch!

No Model Selection

Would love to be able to choose which model I use. Turbo may be able to run on newer devices better.

Constant Crashes

Not well built. Constantly crashes and never finishes transcriptions.
