Auto-export Failure

Any audio recorded, cannot be found, cannot be exported, it is literally being hidden somewhere by the app. It does not auto-export either, I have over 1400 audio files that are nowhere to be found but can still be re transcribed.

What does work is the selection of the previous audio files from a while back, that you can easily mass select and mass export. So, whatever that is happening is due to recent changes going back 5-6 months or so.

The app itself works great, need ways to set shortcuts keys to record and end recording as I have accidentally refreshed way too many pages with CMD+R.

Mac & iOS subscriptions are separate!

I subscribed to this for the Mac early on as I enjoyed using it. Saw there was an iOS version but after downloading it became evident that my sub isn’t available for both. C’mon it’s not even a separate app, this is dumb.

support Chinese language

Can you support Chinese language? Thank you very much。 At the same time, I think more features should be added, such as support for mobile phone quick recording, AI summarization and quick translation

Graphics False Advertising

Well the product is good, I found out after purchasing the the Meeting function is only available on the website version and not this one - the graphics should be adjusted to let purchasers know that this version does not support the same functionality for meetings as the website
