Q: Language Question

Hi,
Firstly, thanks for a great app. I had a dozen people see me use it and also got it.
Question:
I am from South Africa and my native language is Afrikaans. Although you say you support Afrikaans, it returns Dutch. Which is not the same at all.
Is there anyway to fix this? Which service do you use for language- maybe I can contact them regarding this?
Thanks

A: Thanks for the question, and spreading the word about Hedy! Much appreciated!

Regarding Afrikaans, I'm sorry to hear that Hedy is returning Dutch. This is indeed an ongoing issue we are trying to solve. A month ago we made an update to try to force our speech recognition model to return Afrikaans instead of Dutch, and this is the first time we've heard that the issue is still continuing. We're going to keep working on this, as we have a fair amount of users from South Africa! In the future, do reach out via the support button in the app so we can work directly with you to improve this.
