Who does the transcription on Airchat? It's really weird to make a client requirement to publish the audio together with the transcript.
What if I can't provide a transcription? Maybe I'll just leave it blank then? What if my transcription quality is awful?
Transcriptions are all native on-device. It’s an iOS app.
phones have pretty good transcription apis these days, I would imagine nostr:npub1t89vhkp66hz54kga4n635jwqdc977uc2crnuyddx7maznwfrpupqwra5h9 is using device translation.
why is it a weird client requirement? it seems practical. having transcriptions that are asyncronously tacked on afterwards by others seems a lot more complicated and not reliable.
iOS 26 native transcriptions are great. iOS 25 and before fall back to whisper, which nostr:npub1995y964wmxl94crx3ksfley24szjr390skdd237ex9z7ttp5c9lqld8vtf was using earlier today. Whisper requires a bit slower speaking cadence.
If transcriptions are bad, no one will read your post. Or they will eventually unfollow you.
