■ FAQ

‣ Can I edit the text in the app?

I don't plan to support any editing. Export and edit in a proper text editor.

‣ Why is the app so large?

The app delivers the highest quality transcription on the market for 100 different languages. Rather than asking why it's so large, the real question is how is it so small.
