> [@nathanaelb](#): > > I have no idea how real-time transcription works, but it might be possible than no audio file is generated in the process of creating the transcription. It’s possible that they send the audio directly to a transcription system, which converts it to text in real time. When you finish speaking, they simply save the final transcription as the result, without ever creating an actual audio file during the process. ---

Hey @Robert_Petitto @nathanaelb Thanks for your replies! I’ve started testing the feature and so far I’ve successfully recorded and transcribed audio messages around 30 minutes long without any issues. Everything worked smoothly, and the transcription was accurate and complete. I haven’t hit a hard limit yet, but I’ll keep pushing the duration and let you know if I run into any cutoff or performance issues. Happy to keep sharing updates as I explore more! ---

Hi again! I just upgraded from a **Legacy plan to the new Maker plan** , and something strange happened: the **audio transcription** feature stopped working. When I try to record audio, I can still record it, but the transcription doesn’t appear — instead, I get an error message. Does anyone know if **audio transcription is no longer available in the Maker plan**? Or could this be a temporary issue due to the plan change? Thanks in advance for any insights! 🙏 ---

@Anderson_Baumgartner Hey, I haven’t had any success of running this feature with either free or maker plan. Mobile iOS - nope 👎 Mac iOS - nope 👎 ![IMG_6693](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/5/656218a5fe6521de775a08c8b963f06dd263f955.jpeg) Tried different tables, action tied to button or as part of a workflow, nothing has worked so far. I believe others also have had a similar experience. Sorry I don’t have better news but you are not alone. ---

I moved my app to an Agency plan, still doesn’t work. However, it works fine on MacOS desktop. Doesn’t work on iOS. But I did notice my recording, shows the data from the first row of the table. ![Screenshot 2025-03-26 at 19-56-43 SPICE Check · Glide](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/b/3b1e355d36fe01a00d3974aa003893f27cd6c61a.png) ![IMG_7998.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/6/e6f214370c1660c2e542b0d7c726193745208c72.jpeg) When i tried moving the Inline list to another page on another Database, it still doesn’t work Also, when i recorded it in English, it translated in Bahasa Malaysia/Indonesia (I’m in GMT+8 btw) ![Screenshot 2025-03-26 at 19-56-57 SPICE Check · Glide](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/6/f61e3b33cbe38ba4325be33adf9b93b36a0d3da7.png) ---

3 more requests: **`Clear` and `Done` buttons** When recording is launched, ongoing and the user taps the check symbol to end the recording, the recording stops and processes. The processing is indicated by a spinning wheel that replaces the check. At the top, the buttons `Clear` and `Done` allow to clear the transcription or save it respectively. Request 1: It would be nice if the buttons `Clear` and `Done` only appeared _ **after** _ the processing (spinning wheel) has ended. Currently, it is possible to tap `Done` before the end of the processing thereby losing the entire transcript. Request 2: It would be nice if the button said `Save` instead of `Done`. **Adding a recording to an existing transcript** The record & transcribe component allows the user to record, end the recording, and then the user has three options: `Clear`, `Done` or record further by taping the `mic` symbol. Recording again appends the new transcription to the previous one, it doesn’t replace the previous one, and as is, this feature is _wonderful_. Request 3: The appended transcription is appended to the previous transcription with no space nor a line break. It would be nice if at the very minimum a simple spacebar space separated consecutive transcripts. @NoCodeAndy @DJP ---

You don’t have any filter in place on that screen at all? I got an `Transcription failed` error message and the error message seemed related to a filter on the page. It seemed bizarre but I was able to reproduce the issue consistently. I haven’t tested thoroughly yet. My initial tests seem to indicate my feature with the `Record & Transcribe` action works fine in the builder, works fine in production in the browser in Chrome, and works fine in production on an Android phone. I have yet to test iOS and Safari. I’ll be doing those tests in the next few days. ---

No filters. Just a simple unfiltered, non user specific etc etc glide table. Going to start from scratch with a brand new table - wish me luck ---

Starting from scratch helps me sometimes. I usually avoid copy-pasting or duplicating because I never really know what I’m duplicating under the hood. Good luck. I’ll let you know when my tests on iOs and Safari say. Maybe sometime later this week. ---

Oh well, just created a brand new app (no filters etc), added record and transcribe, same error. Works in builder not in live for mobile or desktop, Mac and iPhone. Giving up now. Will revisit in a few days maybe a few bugs need ironing out. ---

What devices do you need it to work on? If you want to share your app, here in the forum or in DM, I can help test the following: - Chrome on Android - Browser (Chrome, Safari, Arc) on Macbook ---

Hi @nathanaelb This is a sample app [https://copy-of-spice-check-ij4v.glide.page](https://copy-of-spice-check-ij4v.glide.page) And here are 2 videos: 1. MacOS Firefox desktop: [Glide Voice to text transcribe on desktop 020425.mov - Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-_gzD9dpldCK4Cbvayv67s2dgnw8Ji2n/view?usp=drive_link) Desktop works fine. A short video of my table is shown at the end of the video. 2. iOS Safari mobile: [Glide Voice to text transcribe on iphone 020425.MP4 - Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/161-18ylOf51BpVK64YJLXfMKzSW6mCaq/view?usp=drive_link) On iOS, it doesn’t work and shows error.

I have no idea how this feature works. If the transcription happens on the server side, on Glide’s servers, then perhaps Safari is not sending the data to the servers? And if the transcription happens on the client side, on the user’s device directly, then I wonder if the error has to do with settings inside Safari: either recording voice, or permissions to read or transcribe an audio, or something else? Three questions, no answers. Maybe ideas to investigate. ---
