v1.8 - stable

UPDATE - v1.8 - 17/08/2022

1. Fixed bug: language codes for Chinese Languages updated accordingly to Speech API. Changed to "cmn-Hans-CN" and "cmn-Hant-TW" instead of "zh / zh-TW").. The output was always mistakenly coming in Cantonese (yue-Hant-HK). Now they come properly in Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Thanks to "Specter Hi" for reporting!
2. Added GUI language switch feature
3. Updated link to funding campaign at GitHub Sponsors
   Note for Linux Users:

If you use Gnome 40 or higher with Wayland you need to use the special version for that. (pyTranscriber-v1.7-linux-gnome40-wayland*.zip)
Also make sure you have qtwayland5 package installed on your system (for Ubuntu apt install qtwayland5)
Note for Mac users:

As the app is not downloaded from the AppStore, it may be necessary to allow it to run manually at

MacOS Monterey

There has been bug reports of problems running the app on the latest MacOS version. If you also experience the same issues the workaround for now is to install Ubuntu on VirtualBox for Mac, install pyTranscriber and run it from there... this setup shouldn't take more than 30 minutes.

If you want a ready to go solution you can join the funding campaign with $10 one time and get a link with Virtualbox appliance ready to go with everything pre-installed.

pyTranscriber is developed as a hobby and is available for free, but donations are welcomed and essential for further improvements.

Your donations will help me free up my time to do more direct work on pyTranscriber. If I can generate more income from sponsorship here, I can take time out of other jobs and commit more time to work on bug fixes, add new features, and make new releases, like possible future integration with Mozilla Deep Speech engine, which may improve accuracy and control over the speech detection.
