The App looks really interesting and I’d love to try it out. How well does it work in other languages than English? For me, German would be important.

Due to audio quality, transcription sometimes produces garbled output or understands something wrong. FluidVoice offers the option to use a LLM to „interpret“ the text to rescue garbled audio through context. Do you also plan to support something like this? This would be a great feature!

From the website (https://traceapp.info/support#preferences):

> Which languages does Trace support? English only, for now. Both transcription models, Fast and Accurate, are built for English audio. A recording in another language will still produce a transcript, but it won’t be accurate: the model maps whatever it hears onto English words, so the result comes out garbled rather than failing outright.

> If transcribing other languages matters to you, get in touch (see Contact below).

Thanks! Somehow I missed that part. Didn't look for language support in the "preferences" section I guess.
