IP18PM - cannot get any models to work // I'm a pro user of the app. Gets stuck on Optimising when downloading. Or for models already downloaded, it just gets stuck on Preparing...

麦克风混乱

应用挺好，有个小问题是，为什么戴着耳机的时候默认使用手机上的麦克风而不是耳机上的，导致的结果是占用麦克风的时候耳机自动处于断开的状态，直接的结果是，AirPods 和 localwhisper 只能二选一。

I bought it only to find out it doesn't support Chinese; I thought it was like OpenWhisper.
