Notes

• Pausing is supported while extracting text but not while splitting files.
• If you temporarily stop a process and then start a new conversion process, you will lose everything related to the previous process; Therefore, it is advisable to save the current result before starting a new conversion.
• Choosing the wav format in wit.ai settings speeds up file splitting but leads to slower conversion and increased data usage. Consider trying .ogg and sharing your feedback on the results.
