Fails more than it works
First of all, this is a GUI for the OpenAI Whisper project. But as implemented on iOS in my first several tests, it has failed way more often than it has worked. Does your phone go to sleep because transcription is so slow? It fails with no notification. Is your audio file 32 bit? Again, it seems to fail without notification. I’m guessing here, since, again, there are no prompts or pop-ups to tell you what’s happening. The circular completion pie tells you something, but not if you turn away from your phone. Can you multi-task out of the app while transcription runs? I’m not sure, but I don’t think so. Also, it uses the file name to name the speaker, not the transcription file. So all of your transcriptions are by default called “Untitled,” even when you import audio. And your speaker is called “Episode 6” or whatever. Seems like it would be much improved with two settings: force phone to not sleep during transcription, and “name transcription file with audio file name.”
