Unfortunately, automatic speech recognition does not work for me. I have tried all models, various variants of audio and video files. Also in the metadata my language German is set correctly. But it is never recognized. It is transcribed either in Russian, Chinese, English, etc., but no German. Would it be possible to simply add a menu in the settings where you can select your language? Can you please improve that, that would be very helpful. Use MacOS 14.7.6.

Hi Mirko66,

Yes it can be done.

I will add this on the next update, thanks for mentioning this.

Thanks!

For information: In the meantime, I was able to try out and test the software under MacOS 15.5 (Sequoia) and found that it is not possible to export the transcriptions as "srt" or "txt". No export dialog opens for the two menu items! Please check compatibility. Thank you very much!

Hi Mirko66,

Good catch, I just tested this on macOS 15.5 and you're right, it doesn't open the dialogs (seems to be a bug in the underlying GUI library, Qt).

I just uploaded an updated version for macOS that fixes this (v2.4.2).

Thanks for the quick update, now the export in MacOS 15.5 works fine

I'm already waiting for the upcoming update when the menu item language selection is added so that it can be transcribed in German.

As mentioned before, I've just released v2.5.1, which allows you now to choose the language manually.

Hi Mirko66,

I've just released v2.5.1, which adds the ability to manually choose the language of the input audio. This should fix the issue when the automatic language detection doesn't work properly.
