Transcript Timestamps (v3.12)

See when each part of the conversation was said, and jump straight to that moment in the audio.
  • Tap the
    clock button
    on a session's transcript to show or hide timestamps
  • If the session's audio was saved, tap a time to play the conversation from just before that moment
  • Copying or downloading the transcript includes the times while they're shown
Where it works:
timestamps appear on sessions transcribed with
Nemotron
, live or imported. Sessions from Whisper or a cloud speech provider don't carry timing, so the clock button doesn't appear on them.
Tip:
turn on
Save Session Audio
when you start a session so you can jump to the audio later. On the web, timestamps show but aren't clickable.

Audio Player on the Transcript Tab (v3.12)

On Mac, Windows and tablets, the session's audio player now also sits on the
Transcript
tab, so you can listen while you read and check a passage against what was said. It appears whenever the session has saved audio.
  • If the connection to Deepgram, OpenAI or xAI silently drops, Hedy notices within about a minute and switches to on-device speech recognition, so your transcript keeps going
  • Your custom vocabulary stays out of connection error messages and error reports
  • Starting with 3.12.0, an update waits while a session is in progress, being finished, or having its audio saved, then installs
  • The installer now lets Hedy close on its own rather than forcing it shut
  • A muted microphone stays muted when you pause and resume a session, and when Hedy recovers audio capture
  • On Mac, it also stays muted when Hedy switches microphones automatically
  • System audio keeps being captured while your microphone is muted
  • Audio, video and transcript imports keep the topic and context you pick in the import dialog, including with Cloud Sync off
  • The language option follows your speech engine: with Nemotron English Only, it shows English
When Hedy recovers a session after an interruption, it keeps the full live transcript and speaker labels.
