Voice to text still remains a problem on new m5 macbook

Voice to text still remains a problem on the new m5 pro chips, I am currently using the M5 pro 16inch macbook pro, and the app just remains to be buggy compared to my m3 macbook. 

This has been a frustrating experience.

    @efford_5932,

     

    This was reported fixed for 26.2.0, but I think I saw another report of it continuing.

     

    Did you clear cache when you updated? I’d try that, and resetting preferences. And create a new test project to test there. You can just add one clip, right-click in the project panel, and transcribe. You don’t need to create a sequence.

     

    For preferences how to and cautions, see this help page and the other pages in the left index there:

    @mattchristensen1 I’m not sure if I flagged you on the other report(s).

    Hi ​@efford_5932 
    So you notice this happening on the M5 but not the M3? That is very good information for us. I have an M3 and have not been able to reproduce this. I will reach out to the team, and we can start the testing on the M5 to try to reproduce what you are experiencing.  
    Here to help.

    Hah! ​@IanB_360, just saw your response after I posted. Good info on the M3 vs M5 issue.

    Did you tried to restart and mac? For my own experience, Mac majorly using built-in dictation through System Settings > Keyboard > Dictation. I recently switch to whisper-based AI solutions and it works better for voice to text.

    literally, I am getting other languages inside of my english subtitles, example, “my first touch was a three” it came back as “but my first touch was a tres” with an accent and everything…
