Thank you for all of the feedback sent on recommended improvements. Version 1.3 Changes: Added a sound upon completion of transcription for users that dictate without looking at the screen to wait for the results. Changed the logic behind indication messages of when it is transcribing and when it is done to be more robust- the previous method occasionally does not trigger the switch of the indication message. Also added a progress animation during transcription Logic of the always on display the application - will now respect the user defined screen timeout of the device when it is not recording and will only keep the screen on when recording is ongoing. Default behavior of fresh installation for new users to have automatic button press turned off by default - turning it on will still persist. Strength of the haptic feedback to only be a single tap instead of a double tap upon starting and stopping recording. Included haptic feedback on pressing the copy button in the archive. Increased the size of the start and stop button so it is easier to hit. Transcribing indicator color to red and done to green for easier visual signal of ongoing and completed Other performance improvements as the Whisper Models are updated, this version uses the latest models and should increase transcription accuracy. What I am working on for future versions: Shortcuts integration Transcription of external files - it is already currently working on m4a files (Apple’s default voice recording format) but still working on a universal input for all kinds of audio files as well as videos.

Version 1.2 Release: Major Changes: 1. Multilingual transcription! - After testing multilingual capabilities and accuracy of whisper model, and making sure it doesn't have any detrimental impact on speed, launching the multilingual version. Ease of use improvements: 1. Haptic feedback is now a single light feedback after pressing the button. 2. Added a sound indicator after completion of transcription for better indication that it's done. 3. The copy button now also triggers a mild haptic feedback. What I'm working on next: 1. Shortcuts integration 2. Ability to import external files (without impacting speed of app for dictation)
