Introducing Aiko: A Powerful On-Device Transcription Tool for iOS and Mac

Hey great job. Thanks for doing the podcast. I am going to download the app and give it a try.

Excellent app and presentation. But you missed a major feature. Try running one of your favorite songs through AIKO and it will pick out the lyrics for you. Very useful.l

Is it possible to get an app that uses this technology to recognize your dictation? I so badly want better dictation recognition.

Sorry, I am not understanding your question exactly. But, Aiko already has a voice dictation feature. On the main screen's top right, there's a 'New Transcription' button. Double-tap on it and swipe right until you reach the 'Record Audio' option, then double-tap again. This will allow you to dictate on the fly, and you'll get the transcription after completing the dictation.

However, if you were asking whether it can identify and separate different voices, the answer is no. As of now, Aiko is likely one of the best options for transcribing audio, but like any transcription app, it's not foolproof and will have some errors, which is inherent to the process.

Over time, we can expect better results, and hopefully, voice separation within audio recordings will be possible in the future. But currently, Aiko transcribes the entire audio without distinguishing individual voices.

You have answered my question. Thank you so much, going to download and try dictating into the app
