Audio Transcriptions QoL improvements
in progress
Tanay M
Hey Naveen, still a daily user of Friday, love all the features.
My most heavily used feature is voice transcription, but I would like to push for quality of life improvements to it.
- It's still very hit or miss. It gets stuck at the Transcribing stage very very consistently. It's a huge deterrent to using the app. How can we look at ensuring this works 100% of the time?
- I know it still saves the audio files and they show up as blank in the recordings history (screenshot). Please make it easy to run this again instead of me exporting to computer - then going to find a free audio transcription service, then uploading there, so on. Suggestion, maybe right click the blank area, and click a Try Again button?
- Then sometimes (but consistently) when it finishes running, my Mac just beeps, no text gets inserted into the text focus area but I can find the transcription in my clipboard history
- Last but not the least, the UX could be improved upon - for example BoltAI has a very satisfying click when the recording starts, spinners etc and reliably works.
Thanks my friend! I believe just by itself the STT feature is amazing and worth 10x what I paid. Would love to have it improved even more!

I'm still working on improving the voice to text feature. Made a few incremental improvements in v0.27(released today)
- You can now delete all old recordings
- Added a setting to auto-delete old recordings (set this up in Record Settings)
- Added Retry button. Now you can rerun to get the transcription in the Recording History

I agree with all these points.

Agree, I'd love to see this feature fixed up a little, I find myself hesitant to use it for longer writing because of the dropped transcription issue. A simple Try Again button would be a nice stopgap to figuring out the core issue.
