[Feature Request] Auto-stop transcription at meeting end
Tom Noeding
It's important that the transcription tool automatically stops after around 5 minutes of no voice activity because:
- Saving resources — Hedy AI consumes CPU, memory, and network bandwidth. If no one is talking, it can stop processing and free up the resources.
- Privacy — If the microphone keeps running, ambient sounds or private conversations could be unintentionally recorded. An automatic stop protects privacy.
- Usability — The user does not have to manually stop the tool. An intelligent stop ensures a smooth experience and prevents the tool from continuing to run in the background when the user is not speaking.
- Avoiding mistranscriptions — Silence can result in empty or incorrect transcriptions. Stopping improves the quality of recordings.
For Hedy AI, the feature means that the application works more efficiently and securely, which increases user satisfaction.
