What’s new
Version 1.1.1 · Updated September 29, 2026
Choose your language before you record. Vietnamese and mixed Vietnamese–English now transcribe live, as you speak — not only after you stop. Pick which model listens in real time, keep an eye on a recording from anywhere in the app with the new recording bar, and rename any recording from the library. Also fixes a crash when starting a recording.
