Lasteat update broke it for me
BrokeCCIPOD
Fantastic, almost exactly what I'm looking for
What I would love to see if this could keep the audio file attached (.m4a from voice memos). For both reference and posterity in case I need to double check or verify transcription audio for any errors in the transcription. Other than that, I love the whole app and accuracy.
Kill subscription/server models and give us the option for offline and private transcription! Nice work!Cbackes64

Great, thanks! Yes updates are coming! Some nice new features and a macOS versionPretty good
Fundamentally, this is a pretty good implementation of Whisper on iOS. For longer transcriptions, it appears to just chunk the audio into 30 second segments, which can degrade the quality of the transcription, including unexpected line breaks and words that overlap two chunks not being great. I wish there were a few more options. One simple one would be a one-click button that allows you to re-process a finished transcription as a single complete audio file. Alternatively, I would like to set it up so that the real time preview is done using one model of my choice (maybe tiny, maybe base), and then after the transcription is complete, it would automatically process the complete audio with another model of my choice (maybe small or medium).
I go back and forth between this one and WhisperBoard. They’re both good in their own ways, but transcription quality is critical, so I rate WhisperBoard higher since it doesn’t seem to suffer the same oddities that are the result of Hello Transcribe attempting to do real-time transcription.coder543

November 6, 2023
3.1.7 Transcribe video from the Photos app on iOS and macOS. Fix memory leak when job finishes and doesn't release transcriber.
More3.0.6
October 25, 2023
3.0.6 Bottom toolbar icons are better spaced apart. Pro downloads will be disabled when Pro not purchased. 3.0.5 Model configs: A model config (configuration) is a Whisper model combined with transcription and rendering options. Previously, you could only set the Whisper model, CoreML enabled etc. in Settings. This meant that changing the settings was awkward, and you could not change them while doing a transcription. Now, you can create multiple configs and use them for different tasks and change them while transcribing. Changing the config will restart the transcription. This means now you can: • Have a "fast" default config to quickly transcribe something and change to a "accurate" config when you want a more accurate result. • Tweak a config during transcription (e.g. turn translation on/off or change the audio language). • Set your favourite config as the default and copy an existing config to tweak it. Two new advanced options have been added: • Per-word timestamps. *This is experimental*. Each word will have a timestamp. • Beam search size. A smaller beam search is faster but will create less accurate results. Before 3.0 Hello Transcribe used the "greedy" search method, which is the same as a search size of 1. Other: • App will not go to sleep while a transcription is in progress.
