Fix the failed transcriptions issue
This seems like it would be an obvious feature to have built into the application, and its absence is causing unnecessary frustration. If I bought an application that wrote content for me, I'd expect that app to let me edit the content, simple, obvious.
This application isn't about editing content, it's about recording your voice, transcribing it, and putting it into usable formats. What's irresponsibly missing is actually RECORDING the audio locally, THEN uploading it to their servers for transcription. (This works on mobile devices, but it's unnecessarily missing from the desktop version.)
Everybody knows how unreliable AI can be. Even Internet connections can be finicky at times. This should have been built in from the beginning.
Personally, I've found that about 30% (1 in 3) of transcriptions over 5 minutes fail. >:(
They don't record, they don't transcribe - nothing. I just get a message that says "transcription failed, try again."
I cannot tell you how outrageously frustrating it is to go off on a 13-minute brainstorm session, coming up with brilliant ideas, only to have the entire thing lost.
What I'm doing now is using my phone's voice recorder to record anything that I even think is gonna go over 5 minutes, then I use the desktop app. WHEN (not if) When blip fails, I have a backup. But I don't like I should have to do this
Fix this and you've got a 5-star app.
Without it, I'd call this gross negligence.
