DoR3M3, he'll notice if he takes a close look at it. This is a documented issue that plagues EVERY PH1. It happens on my PH1 as well. Touch typing is indeed bad. The keyboard seems to be shifted left of what you actually are typing on.

Please keep us updated on your restoring experiences. I just rooted my 2nd PH1 and I'm also looking for ways to make a NANROID backup. Really want to hear your experience with the restoring part.

Thanks!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] luigi311:
Try booting twrp on the opposite boot partition and make a nand backup from there and then try restoring from there. From what i understood it flashes to the opposite boot partition when twrp first came out im not sure if it still does that so its possible it does that to for nand backups and restores.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
I'd like to add for anyone saying we don't need Twrp - Same reasons virtually every other phone gets a working build of it. If there was no need or demand for it, they'd cease to exist and people will stop using it. But every couple of weeks, there's an announcement of new phones getting TWRP.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Lakino:
lol. Thanks for the step by step. It does seem a bit overwhelming for the uninitiated. I'll give it a try once I've had more time to digest the whole process.

Maybe we can get that post pinned. Thanks again for testing.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
We do need TWRP, it's a great tool, that does simplify many things all in one...

[MENTION=4655752]Lakino[/MENTION], it's not complicated at all, just a few steps, and once you've done it, then you'll see how easy it is, and come back and tell us then... ;)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] galakanokis:
The TWRP guys have an Essential phone now so they will work on it but it sounds like not until Pie is figured out.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
Woo time to round up the Army and head over to Freenode - #twrp

Get your butts over their people! ;)

I'll be looking for Essential peeps chatting...

Convert your WhatsApp voice notes to text or play them in incognito

Have you ever been receiving voice messages from WhatsApp and not being able to listen at that time? Now you can convert them to text and know in time what your friends communicate, even when the situation does not allow.

If you want to listen to voice messages in incognito (no blue checkmarks) you can too.

You can choose almost every language from settings, for transcriptions and even for translations.

Quick actions to copy and share the content.

Transcriber also provide an handy built-in player to play in incognito WhatsApp voice notes.

If you want you can even change the playback speed, or the output audio (speaker or handheld).

If you want you can have a history to keep track of your transcriptions, and many other features you can discover on the app settings.

The app is downloadable from Google Play, just click the badge down here.

Download size may vary from 3.4 to 3.7 MB, it depends on your device.

This is amazing. I'm from Brazil and it works pretty well.

I'm a developer, not an Android one, but if you need some help, I'm in.
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
ooh, such a luck! I just was wondering if portoguese language was translated good enough. Well yes, you' re in. I need the same screenshots I posted in Google Play but localized for Brasil, and the description too. You' ll be credited as well inside the app.

[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
Oh, I hope you downloaded the play store version, the one I posted here is the very first release and contains bug solved with latest builds.
[Android Apps and Games] Goutham Ganesh:
not available in India, is it going to be available?
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
I was waiting for Indian testers and translators. Would you apply for it?
[Android Apps and Games] jaum20:
Great work. The app works like a charm!

Congrats and thank you very much:good:
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
What s goin' on here? This thread has been opened since 10 days and no one replied. 4 different people replied within 20 minutes. Maybe xda posted an article about this app?

Thanks [MENTION=8441227]jaum20[/MENTION] , I hope you re in a country where the app is available in the play store, so you can enjoy latest stable builds
[Android Apps and Games] Tech0308:
Yes they have:laugh:. Happy to do Chinese translation but no guarantee it'll be fast since I'll need to juggle school.
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:

[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
I m italian too and if you have latest build and dont "parli in dialetto" it s kinda good
[Android Apps and Games] Assunta_Maggio74:
Wow it is amazing works pretty well in English , it is possible for Arabic language?
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
I need some tester for arabic language. Would you apply?
[Android Apps and Games] Assunta_Maggio74:
How does it work being a tester?
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
I do some code implementing arab support and you test it. You just have to tell if it works or not. If you are interested send me a PM with your email.
[Android Apps and Games] tychoregter:
Will you add Dutch?
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
sure [MENTION=8203835]tychoregter[/MENTION]! send me a PM with your email if you wanna join. I ve just added arab, is in testing.

[Android Apps and Games] zanef7:
That's true - the Google play image isn't a link it's just an image. But also I downloaded the APK and when I open it it makes the "restore text messages" screen open for HTC Messages.
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
I see, that s because currently his language is not supported. Could be useful know the language to implement it.
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
could you please tell me what s your language and post a screenshot of what happenned?
[Android Apps and Games] doctor-who:
If you can add serbian, I'll be glad to help.

[Android Apps and Games] charlietsuo:
Works like a charm! I tested it in Spanish with different speech speeds and it did a fantastic job.

Thanks a lot!

If you need to test some things in Spanish I'll be glad to help :)
[Android Apps and Games] jaum20:
Yes, i'm in Brazil. I'll install from playstore. Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] zanef7:
I can't post screenshots here for some reason. Is there a playstore link I can use?
[Android Apps and Games] zanef7:
Look how the file downloads - doesn't appear to be an apk
[Android Apps and Games] ceebu:
I would like to become a tester, will send you a PM
[Android Apps and Games] prabhjots:
Does this work offline or use server resources to transcribe? Which transcribing service does it use? Any idea if the inbuilt Google Assistant service can be used? How about extending to any audio, not just that sent through whatsapp?
[Android Apps and Games] aman1241:
Can you add support for hindi language as in india hindi is used most of the time
[Android Apps and Games] sulasno:

[Android Apps and Games] epraes:
Can someone confirm if this app also works for Telegram voice messages?
[Android Apps and Games] heisenbergfromIN:
I would love to contribute in my free time. I am not a developer, though. Will you guide me through the process?
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
of course! you' re scheduled. Right now we re testing arab. I hope that for today serbian will be included [MENTION=5962051]doctor-who[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
I did some test in Spanish before to launch the app, I have some friend living in Spain so I had my very private testers :p but now I have one more so!
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
you' re right [MENTION=461000]zanef7[/MENTION] , file looks wierd. Did you try to download again?
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
yep got it! I will PM asap
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
There is a very specific reason why I only support only whatsapp audio notes: because they are not music. If I d support any kind of file I would need to make extra checks before sending content to server (to save data). I tried Google Speech API, it s fantastic but is not for free, and for a free app I cannot pay Google 0,006$ per second, u see? So I chose a free service used for Facebook bots, called Wit, and found it good enough. I hope the answer is satisfying
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
[MENTION=5941131]aman1241[/MENTION] is already on the go, it s not a good idea don t support hindi, since India is a huge community

[MENTION=4246431]sulasno[/MENTION] yes, but thai is not supported

[MENTION=5355443]epraes[/MENTION] for Telegram use some bot like "@text2speech"

[MENTION=7965201]heisenbergfromIN[/MENTION] sure, what I ask to contribute is to test the app in your language and eventually translate from english. Even a non-developer can
[Android Apps and Games] sulasno:
I don't speak Thai :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
So your flag is a cheat?
[Android Apps and Games] sulasno:
Nope. I am in Thailand but not a Thai. Simple?
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
lol I see :D
[Android Apps and Games] TanmaySharma:

[Android Apps and Games] heisenbergfromIN:
Of course. I am in for Hindi and Marathi.
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:

[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:

[Android Apps and Games] TanmaySharma:

[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
I m waiting testers for hindi translation, so i can code the part to implement hindi recognition
[Android Apps and Games] cricketAC:
Is urdu same as Hindi?
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
im pretty ignorant about that, sorry
[Android Apps and Games] TanmaySharma:
Sure i can test out hindi translation for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
and if you can translate english to hindi send me a PM with your email, i ll get ya right now
[Android Apps and Games] prabhjots:
Of course, I'm aware of Google Cloud Speech API not being free, USD 0.006 per 15 seconds. I was just curious to know what service you use. I'm not sure, but Google Assistant also allows for offline recognition, which I'm guessing shouldn't be chargeable. Have you considered that?

How about extending to other mp3s/wav, like call/meeting recordings, for example? Or any workaround to trick it into thinking those mp3s are WhatsApp audio notes?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
As far as I know Google recognition (if you mean Assistant Recognition) don t support audio from a file but spoken directly on his own interface as this video mention

[Android Apps and Games] arjunarora:
Let me know how can i assist with Hindi translation.. I'll be more than happy to help.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] zanef7:
I tried to download from here multiple times but it always looks like a strange file type and does not install as an APK should. I did find it in the play store and have downloaded it from there - it is working great (I just need my friends to speak clearly hahaha) thank you for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] prabhjots:
So, maybe feeding audio output into the input source channel could help, much like AudioHijack on a Mac, or pulseaudio/alsamixer on Linux? I'm not sure if that's possible in Android.
[Android Apps and Games] ebrijesh:
Hi,

I want to check if hindi and Gujarati is available.

I am from India as well.
[Android Apps and Games] a.cid:
They are similar phonetically. But their scripts are different, so that would change how the output appears through Transcriber.
[Android Apps and Games] ilarrain:
Great app!! Worlds well in Spanish. Why isn't it available in Chile?

Enviado desde mi SM-G935F mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] till22:
Downloaded it 5 minutes ago, so far:

Spanish: good

French: average

German: bad ("incomprehensible audio" on 2 different clear messages without background noise, the other one was OK)

Verdict: it's pretty handy for when you can't listen to the message

Feature suggestions (not a request): make it optional to edit language on the go (as in: option to change language after sharing it to Transcriber). I receive audio messages in 3 different languages and found it a little annoying to have to change this every time :)

Also, if you plan on offering Dutch, please send me a PM with what you need translated - if it's not too much I can give you a hand!
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
[MENTION=461000]zanef7[/MENTION] thank you :D

[MENTION=4726039]prabhjots[/MENTION] I really have no idea how to do this

[Android Apps and Games] a.cid:
I'm afraid my personal time commitments leave no room for extra projects.

India has a lot of languages. Some are phonetically similar but have different written scripts (hindi vs urdu, words also differ but they share a lot of sentence structures and other aspects of grammar). Others are vastly different from each other (most regional languages come under this: marathi, gujrati, punjabi and more).

As an app developer, I would suggest sticking with Hindi and English for the most part. The others will require a lot of effort for a small audience as a hobbyist developer.
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
change language on the go is actually planned and inserted related strings are inside the string file i shared to testers.

I accept dutch translation, gimme a min and I ll PM
[Android Apps and Games] optimusdag:
Works very good in spanish.

Some comments:

- Does not work in forwarded audio messages.

- It would be very good if it could work automatically in some way. My Use-Case: I use Android Auto, so when an audio message arrives it only says "Audio Message". It would be very good if Transcriber could kick in and translate to text so Android Auto could read it.

Thanks, and keep the good work!!
[Android Apps and Games] jupiterlander:

[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:

[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:

[Android Apps and Games] sulasno:
Just an observation in languages

Chinese language is a misleading term. The Chinese language would actually refer to Mandarin or Putong Hua. Other than Mandarin, the Chinese people also speak dialects (which isn't really a language)
[Android Apps and Games] Tech0308:
My family speak mandarin and my dad does speak the local dialect of Fujian which I don't think can be written. You could also class Cantonese as Chinese but the first that usually springs to mind is mandarin.

Hi Mirko,

first of all, thank you for this fantastic app. Works really well for me (in German).

Can you share some information about "Wit" and it's privacy agreements? I am pretty sure this is a concern to many others.

Esp. I am wondering:

a. What will happen with the audio snippets? Will they be stored permanently on their servers?

b. What will happen with the sent back plaintext information?

c. Which other services are being used?

Thanks in advance!

[MENTION=4685751]joshua764[/MENTION] thanks, but I m receiving a loooot of bad ratings for spanish language, this annoys me very much. Could you add some good 5 stars in the play store please?

[MENTION=8041354]ebrijesh[/MENTION] could you please send a screenshot and tell step by step what you did?

sure [MENTION=2552655]niko26[/MENTION], I definitively have to put some "user agreement" button into my app, I didn t think about that. I can link to you about "customer data" since I think it is what you really wanna know. Just to be clear, user data I send is splitted almost word by word and sent to different wit apps (different subservers, so not trackable 100%) on my account, to avoid app reaching 1 second limit request. here s the link https://wit.ai/terms#5

Since Telegram uses the same audio codec/format (opus), shouldn't this app work with Telegram voice messages too, maybe with minor modifications?

Unfortunately, I cannot test it right now, but consider adding support for it (if it doesn't work already), as I hate voice messages. Also, I don't have WhatsApp...

Edit: Telegram doesn't let you share voice messages directly from the app, but they can be shared from a file manager (the Telegram client is open source anyway, so this inconvenience can be fixed later). The problem is Transcriber doesn't appear in the "share menu".

[MENTION=7364379]Ichijou Raku[/MENTION] can you provide indonesian translation?

[MENTION=8041354]ebrijesh[/MENTION] buddy that looks like an audio file, not a voice note. Anyway I got a similar report for one plus, thou one of my friends has it and it works.

[Android Apps and Games] Freddy1X:
Malay language please.
[Android Apps and Games] heisenbergfromIN:
Excellent! Yes, it is a prevalent practice of leaving one star ratings without seeking assistance from the developer or taking preliminary steps to troubleshoot the issue. The problem stems from people's digital illiteracy. They expect everything to work magically without trying to understand that indie developers work on their own, in their own time, with their own resources.
[Android Apps and Games] sulasno:
Developers have no idea what the users want. Hence requires feedback from users. If users cannot understand how to use the app, the developers are at fault for not making the app user friendly. Apps that are good requires co-operation from both parties

If users don't know how to use this simple app then they don't know to use android device either
