Feature request

Hello, would it be possible to allow the user to keep behind the transcript of the audio, but delete the audio file? If this is already a feature I am sorry, I cannot figure it out. It just frustrated me that I went through and favorited a ton of sentences and then deleted the audio. Then when I deleted the audio I lost my favorites.

Thanks

How to select engine that does the transcription?

Hello, I have several engines downloaded. Would it be possible to add a way to select the method in which the transcription is done for each episode a user transcribes? I’m sorry if this is already a feature. But I can’t seem to figure that out.

Thanks

Response from developer

You can change the transcribe model in the top right menu of play view, there is a `language and settings` panel, you can change the model here. --- Hi. 1. the time-transcript sync is a know problem right now, I'm still trying to find a solution. 2. you can customize the swipe action, in More>Audio>paragraph settings>Paragraph swipe custom action 3. the bookmark is for quick jump to some point in the audio, the favorite is for language learning, for review.
