Audio Feedback
AI Transcription Notepad provides audio notifications for recording and transcription events. Configure the feedback mode in Settings → Behavior → Audio feedback.
A "Notification Mode" indicator appears in the main interface footer showing the active mode.
Modes
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Beeps | Short beep tones for events (default) |
| Voice (TTS) | Spoken announcements using pre-generated voice files |
| Silent | No audio feedback |
Voice (TTS) Announcements
When TTS mode is active, the app speaks brief announcements for each event:
| Event | Announcement |
|---|---|
| Recording started | "Recording" |
| Recording stopped | "Recording stopped" |
| Audio cached (append mode) | "Cached" |
| Transcription started | "Transcribing" |
| Transcription complete | "Complete" |
| Text copied to clipboard | "Clipboard" |
| Recording cleared | "Recording discarded" |
| Error occurred | "Error" |
| Format preset changed | "Format updated" |
| Format inference enabled | "Format inference activated" |
| Tone changed | "Tone updated" |
| Style changed | "Style updated" |
| Verbatim mode selected | "Verbatim mode selected" |
| General mode selected | "General mode selected" |
| Translation mode selected | "Translation mode" |
| TTS mode activated | "TTS mode activated" |
| TTS mode deactivated | "TTS mode deactivated" |
| Reset button pressed | "Default prompt configured" |
| Manual copy to clipboard | "Copied to clipboard" |
Text injection does not have a TTS announcement because text appearing at the cursor is self-evident.
