🎃 Fall / Halloween update 🎃
Major feature drop: Easy Voice Recorder for Android can now transcribe your recordings to text privately on your device, not in the cloud. The first 15 minutes of each recording can be transcribed for free, and you can unlock full transcriptions with a one-time purchase -- no subscription required.
Transcription supports English, Portuguese, and Spanish in our initial release.
We're also releasing maintenance updates for Easy Voice Recorder iOS, Easy Metronome Android and iOS, and Night Filter.
Look for the update in your store soon, and thank you for using our apps.

Improved translations are coming to Easy Voice Recorder soon, courtesy of many late nights with Claude Code and Codex.
Our app has been on the store since 2012, and since then, we've translated it into 34 languages. We've done this through both paid translations and through volunteers (for which we're very grateful!). However, reviewing and integrating these changes as an indie developer was starting to become very painful for us. Some languages were already of high quality (again, thanks to the kind support of volunteers), but others needed a lot of work.
We decided to review the translation quality with both native speakers and AI (a practical necessity with 34 languages). There are more than 900 strings per language, with over 32,000 strings total to review. This was far too much to just process in one chunk, even for Fable, and we weren't interested in busting through our usage limits in one day. Instead, we broke it down into a hierarchy:

Each group of related strings was processed by Haiku, looking for severe translation errors and other mistakes. Sol (Codex) was responsible for batching the strings. This was then cross-checked against the code by a higher model.
Once we got through most of the worst errors, we then moved up to Opus and scanned for semantic errors, such as translations that were technically sound, but didn't make sense or were saying something wrong. Some of these changes required us to break up strings.
For example, instead of:
<string name="filter_disabled">%s disabled</string>
We needed to split this up into strings like this:
<string name="skip_quiet_sections_disabled">Skip quiet sections disabled</string>
So that we could avoid having translations like this:
Annuler l'écho désactivé
Which is not actually a valid string in French (it translates into something like "To cancel the echo disabled").
This also had to be balanced against having a combinatorial explosion of different strings for every possible combination.

We then moved up to Fable and had it review the strings at the highest level, looking to ensure that things flowed naturally and fluently for native speakers. We then ran a fresh batch with Fable as the boss, one Opus agent per language, and a horde of Terra instances for each group of strings. We took care to structure our prompts to take advantage of prompt prefix caching. The total usage for this final review was around 1M Fable tokens, 4M Opus tokens and 16M Terra tokens.
Then, where possible, we had native speakers do a final pass, looking for all of the things that the AIs missed.
The end result: the app translations should be much better now. This is coming in the next major release after 2.10.4 — we'll keep you posted!

Trying to get payouts from @Meta has been an exercise in frustration -- after trying to link our bank account, payouts are now disabled and we can't reach a human. We've been on Google Play and the App Store for years and have never had any issues with them. @MetaforBusiness, can someone help?

The app dates back to 2012, so this was a big project for us.
Our goals for 2026:
* Full‑screen player
* In‑app transcriptions
* Tags & bookmarks
* And more.
Our goal is to do this without drastically altering the UI or making the app harder to use.
