Please Note: free transcription on your phone is dramatically less accurate that transcription in the cloud with pro minutes. No, the app didn't just get dramatically worse, the transcription engine did. For the same experience you have been getting until now, you can subscribe or buy top-up packs here.
Caution: Offline transcription is powered by LLM-based AI. If you don't continue to talk, it can sometimes transcribe words which were not spoken. In can sometimes invent words that were never spoken. Exercise caution and always use the Cloud transcription providers for the best accuracy.
