We are starting the new year in style with some really exciting updates for you!
You asked and we delivered. I made significant improvements to our mobile app to make it truly useful for using on the go!
The mobile app now provides access to all your web content, not just recordings made on your device.

Browse your entire transcription library, access transcripts from any source, and manage your work from anywhere.
Record audio seamlessly in the background on both iOS and Android devices. You can now start a recording and switch to other apps or lock your screen without interrupting capture.
The app also now supports over-the-air updates, so you'll automatically receive improvements without needing to visit the app store.
Connect Transcript LOL to your automation workflows with native n8n and Make (Integromat) integrations.

Both integrations includes OAuth2 authentication for secure, hassle-free connections. Build powerful workflows that automatically transcribe content when triggered by other events in your tech stack.

Link to our N8N integration — in review
I added most of our critical components to track in our health checking system and created a comprehensive status tracker page. Check it out here.

Now you don’t have to take our word for it. You can verify the health of our systems at anytime.
We made significant improvements to our ai content generation — summaries, chatbot responses and custom prompts.
The chatbot now auto-resumes streaming if you reload the page mid-generation, so you never lose progress. We've moved processing to background jobs for significantly improved reliability while maintaining real-time streaming. The model picker has also moved closer to the text box for quicker access.
Insights generation now runs in the background with major reliability improvements. You'll see a loader while processing, and the AI model selector has moved to a cleaner popover dialog for easier switching between models.
We also made countless other improvements, including but not limited to
Integrations now automatically pause after consecutive failures, protecting your account balance and preventing repeated errors. You can view exactly why an integration was paused via a helpful tooltip, manually re-enable it when ready, and force-sync individual RSS feed items directly from the integrations page.
The YouTube downloader UI has been completely redesigned to show download links without scrolling. File sizes are now displayed upfront so you know exactly what you're downloading before you start.
Access your invoices directly without the extra login step to the Stripe portal. View and download your billing history right from your account.

First off—Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄 I hope you're enjoying the holiday season with family and friends. Thank you for being part of the Transcript LOL journey this year. Your feedback, feature requests, and support have shaped everything I've built, and I'm excited for what's coming in 2026!
Now, onto the updates—because the holiday season hasn't slowed things down. If anything, it's been one of the biggest months yet. The most requested feature is finally here, along with major improvements to speaker detection and plenty more.
After months of requests, Transcript LOL now has native mobile apps for iOS and Android. This was the #1 most requested feature on the feature board, and I'm thrilled to finally ship it.
Record directly from your phone, browse your transcript library, and view recordings on the go. The apps include all 62 supported languages, dedicated recording screens with transcription options, and full speaker detection settings.

This is the first release, so I'd love your feedback on what to improve next. There's plenty more planned, but your input will shape what gets prioritised.
The second most requested improvement was better speaker detection—and I've made major progress here.
You should already notice a difference if you've transcribed anything in the last couple of days. Transcript LOL is now on par with state-of-the-art speaker diarization, matching or beating every other transcription app I've tested.

Combined with transcription accuracy and pricing, Transcript LOL annual plan is looking like a steal! There's still room for improvement and I'm continuing to work on it, but the gap has closed dramatically.
A new Find widget helps you search within transcripts faster and more intuitively than the default browser find feature. Hit CMD+F (or CTRL+F on Windows) to open it.

The search highlights matches throughout your transcript and lets you jump between them quickly—much smoother than wrestling with your browser's built-in search.
You can now add RSS feed URLs in your integrations to auto-import new podcast episodes as they're published. Perfect for podcasters who want every episode transcribed automatically, or researchers tracking specific shows.

Pair this with YouTube auto-imports and you've got a fully automated transcription pipeline for all your content sources.
I've added support for the latest models:
Gemini 3.0 models
Grok 4 models
GPT-5 models
Claude 4.5 models

There's also a new “auto-select” option that picks the best available model and automatically falls back if one fails—reducing errors and keeping your ai responses running smoothly.
Notes are now Reports I've renamed "Notes" to "Reports" to better reflect what they do—transforming your recordings into structured documents. Same powerful feature, clearer name.
Quality of life
Copy insight button now preserves rich text formatting
More media playback speed options
Segment timestamps shown by default
Sticky toolbar in the report template editor
Option to retry recordings that failed due to insufficient balance
Bug fixes
Fixed issues with certain reports rendering as empty
Fixed title flickering on the recordings list
Fixed partial YouTube download issues
Resolved login errors from a recent update
Various mobile view styling fixes
That's everything for December. The mobile apps are a big milestone, and I'm keen to hear what you think. Drop feedback in the app, on the feature board, or reach out directly—I read every message.
Here's to a fantastic 2025! 🥂

This month brings some major new capabilities: watch YouTube channels or playlists and automatically import new videos, bulk url importer tool for up to 100 urls at a time, a fully localised dashboard in five languages, three new video downloaders, and a redesigned import experience. Let's dive in.
You can now bulk import up to 100 urls at a time. Along with custom metadata specific to each url.

The goal is to make it fast and easy to import large catalogues of content and transcribe them quickly.
Bulk Imports using this tool are all charged as automated-transcriptions and billed at our standard rates of $0.25 per hour.
You can access this from the last tab of the import interface in your workspace.
You can now connect your YouTube channels or playlists and have new videos automatically transcribed as they're published. Set it once and forget it—Transcript LOL handles the rest.

The integration shows you when each channel was last synced and when the next sync is scheduled, so you always know what's happening. You can also trigger a force sync anytime you need immediate results.
You can monitor specific types of videos — import only shorts, only uploaded videos or only live streams in a channel or any playlist on YouTube.

To keep the system healthy for everyone, there's a limit on how many channels each account can monitor.
→ Monitor YouTube Channels in Integrations
The entire dashboard is now available in Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Italian alongside English. Every button, menu, settings page, and dialog has been translated—from billing and team management to the transcript editor and keyboard shortcuts.

A new language switcher lets you change your interface language instantly, and your preference is remembered across sessions.
Building on the success of our YouTube Downloader last month, we've added three more free tools:
TikTok Downloader — Paste a link, download without watermarks. Videos auto-open in a new tab for easy saving.

Instagram Downloader — Works with posts and reels. Includes handy save instructions since Instagram makes downloading tricky.
Facebook Downloader — Simple video downloads from public Facebook posts.
Same philosophy as our YouTube tool: no ads, no signups, no waiting.
The import experience has been completely rebuilt with a clean tabbed layout. Audio recording now has a polished new UI with smooth, clean visualisation during active recording.

The interface remembers which tab you used last, so you can jump straight back to your preferred import method.
Two quality-of-life additions to Notes:
One-click copy — Hover over any rendered note and copy it instantly.
PDF download — Export your notes as PDF documents with a single click.
We've also improved how the editor handles state after rendering, and you'll now see clear error messages if something goes wrong so you can try again.
Coming soon: we're renaming "Notes" to "Reports" to better reflect what they actually do—transforming your recordings into structured documents.
Keep filler words like "umm" and "uhh" in your transcriptions when you need verbatim accuracy (contact support to enable this).
Direct Dropbox web URLs now work—no need to create shared links
Webhook support for failed transcriptions, including a new Zapier trigger
Sorting options in the recordings list: by title, creation date, or status

I thought first month with a newborn would slow me down! Not at all, in fact, the opposite!
It energised me to build a new and powerful feature from the ground up, based entirely on user feedback. And lots of other features and improvements.
Here’s everything I shipped to Transcript LOL this month:
Using Notes template engine, you can transform your recordings into perfectly formatted documents in the exact format you want!
Here’s a quick demo:
Say goodbye to wrestling with custom prompts that deliver half-baked results. Notes breaks down complex formatting tasks into manageable pieces, ensuring every instruction is followed to perfection.
Whether you need meeting minutes, research reports, or client summaries, simply create your template once with our intuitive editor, then apply it to any recording in seconds. Mix and match dynamic elements like transcripts, translations, AI-generated summaries, and custom metadata fields to build exactly the document structure you need.
I worked with a few of our most enthusiastic users to make sure Notes really meets their exact requirements. I’m excited to hear you feedback!
Read more about how this works here — Introduction To Notes
If you ever need to download a YouTube video, look no further. Our Free YouTube Downloader is simple & straightforward:
Paste a Link
Download It — no waiting
There’s no step 3

This is the biggest update ever — obviously I’m biased!
Our daughter Lila arrived 3 weeks early — 4 limbs, 10 fingers & all healthy ❤️ She’s very calm, tiny (like all newborns, I suppose), and incredibly cute!
She also enjoys working with her Dad — until she can speak for herself 😉

Our translations feature is almost ready for public release — in the coming weeks. I will send out invites this week to all the users who requested early access.

We have added support for 13 new languages — both for transcriptions and translations. We will continue to iterate our models for these languages to iron out any bugs. Here’s the full list we added — Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Urdu, Malayalam, Norwegian Nynorsk, Slovenian, Croatian, Basque, Galician, Georgian, Filipino, Telugu, Kannada.
Also made many other improvements such as:
Faster transcriptions for smaller files

In case you missed it, I also announced about our WhatsApp integration earlier this month. Head out to our Integrations page to get started.
This week, we ran into some issues related to our GPU provider. This caused unusually long wait times for some of you. I have personally emailed to everyone affected by this and promised to find a long term solution.

Here’s what we have done to avoid such situations in future:
Diversified our GPU providers
Implemented smart fallback strategies when we detect issues with a provider
Scaled up our servers to smoothly handle peak demand
As we continue to grow, I will constantly monitor and scale up our infrastructure!
