Hey, #Manent 3.0 is out. You asked for it, and now it's ready: voice notes! You can record voice notes with a tap and get them transcribed with a local, privacy-conscious model. You can also transcribe audio shared to the app, such as voice messages from your favorite DM app. Then you can easily listen to the recordings and change the playback speed. Manent is available for Linux, maxOS, Windows and Android. IOS soon, I hope. Android users can install Manent from @Zapstore, for other platforms download it from
GitHub

Thanks! You can already add a caption to voice notes using the contextual menu, as is already the case with images and videos. Actually, it could make sense to have an option to disable auto-transcribing, and so after dictating the voice note, you can add the caption before saving.

Mmhh. Thanks for the report. Can you check if you have pulseaudio-utils and ffmpeg installed? I avoided to bundle them to save space If that is not the problem, please share which distro you are using.

Can you run these and send back the output: ls -l /usr/bin/parecord grep Exec /usr/share/applications/manent.desktop /usr/bin/manent With the third command the app starts from the terminal. If recording works from there, the problem is the launcher's environment and not the package. Also useful: with the app open, the PATH it actually has: cat /proc/$(pgrep -n manent)/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep ^PATH=
