Talk to Text Inconsistent

When it works, it works really well and seems to edit the grammar very quickly on the fly. However, occasionally it'll just stop working, and I have to go into the task manager for Windows and completely close out the application and reopen it for it to continue working.

It would be nice if it gave a little bit of a better indicator if it was actually transcribing. When it stops working, you just end up talking to the computer and repeating yourself a couple of times until you realize that it's not actually transcribing. Also, in other applications I've used, it will give you a real-time transcription across the top of the screen to let you know that it's listening. I've noticed the little sidebar indicator with the audio input sound waves, and that appears to be a good indicator, though it doesn't seem to show up consistently either.

Adding that in v.0107, there are 2 bugs:
- The talk to text icon that shows it is receiving audio stops working and disappears randomly. The in-built Windows "microphone in use" icon in the bottom-right near the clock still shows.
- First 4 or 5 seconds of audio keeps getting missed. Not every time, but sometimes.

I know according to the release notes, v0.106 was meant to fix this on Windows, but I am still getting problems where Talk to Text just stops working, and I have to force-close and re-open.
I can have a situation where the "microphone in use" icon shows on Windows, like it is recording, but nothing happens in Brain GPT, and the Talk recordings page shows nothing.

Guy Mannerings: Thanks for the feedback! Looking into this.

Talk to test continually stops working. Need close through task manager and reopen in order to get Talk to text back. The application often will record the audio but not process the speech.

Hi Eric Snyder- my apologies for the rough experience with Talk to Text. We had an incident that caused the service to be unavailable for a few hours on the day you posted this, but it’s since been resolved. Could you let me know if it’s working better for you now, or if you’re still running into issues?

Hi Eric Snyder, my apologies that Talk to Text wasn't working well for you. We've made quite a few improvements in the quality of this feature and I wanted to check if it is working as expected for you or if you're still having any trouble using it?

Ankit Mishra I still get issues where the floating icon stops showing, so have no idea if it's working or not. (Windows, v0.104)

Ankit Mishra I can confirm I also get issues where it will just stop functioning and I have to close and re-open.
