It’s really annoying that the app doesn’t recognize when I’m saying the line and I’ll have to see it multiple times for it to recognize that in speaking to it and for it to pick up my words to the point to where sometimes I need to shout for it to hear me. I don’t think this is the microphone issue because I can talk at a normal pace and my speech to text works my phone calls work my videos pick up audio. I hope this gets figured out because besides that the app is great.

And it’s absolutely gotten better over these past few months, better vocal cue pickup always. Thank you for the tool my friends. Better and better every day and incredibly useful.
