Thanks for your support Phil!@philsalesses
It worked wonderfully when you first launched.
Guess I should've set to auto-start, forgot iTo was on board until today
(Full transparancy-- I've also been taking wisprFlow and talkTastic thru the paces.)
I downloaded at your first launch, and was impressed.
After a PH alert today about ITO, I launched it again, turned off the other transcriber before testing iTo, clicked install update, held shortcut, and then... well, nothing.
Ver. now installed: Version 0.15.17 (0.15.17)
Invoking of Keyboard Shortcut results: no transcription.
Relaunch has no effect so far, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your reply,

@michael_langham Thanks so much for giving Ito a try and for being one of our early users!
We recently revamped how auto-updates work, so if you were on a 14.x version before, it’s totally possible things got a bit out of sync with the new process. The quickest fix is to uninstall and grab the latest version from our website, that should set everything straight.
Let us know how it goes! Always happy to help and we can jump on a quick call anytime if that’s easier.

Super cool, nice job!
Being open source is very important for this kind of tool, and also collecting user feedback vigorously is the only way you can truly know what’s important and is predestined for success.
I wish I could just voice to text this instead of typing… oh wait!
Very cool product! Love the open source idea.
How did you get around the native Mac transcription being terrible and whisper being slow? Did you take the approach most do where you approximate with dictation first and then hot swap text a few seconds later after it’s processed through a better model?
As a non-native English user, what I care about most is whether it can reliably handle accents, mixed Chinese-English speech, and proprietary terms. I hope the experience can be improved in this area.
