Murena Voice to Text for paying workspace users...devastating

Nice to hear something about development and the future but the online VTT feature for premium paying users which seems to be over one month at least in a non-working state will not even be mentioned directly. Great service attitude for you paying customers!

Reminder to myself:

Cloud plans are automatically renewed on an annual or monthly basis unless you cancel them in your account. Cancellation stops the next billing cycle but does not refund the current one.

Pl send in the details of the disabled service to the Helpdesk using the form at Contact Us. As paying customers let the helpdesk know about this.
The development focus is on offline development for the v4.2 release. This does not mean the online version has been abandoned. They will take it up after the offline related development and testing tasks are complete. If the service is not working as of now the helpdesk should be made aware of this problem.

I received something totally useless from the helpdesk,
which I’ve replied to and I’m happy to share it here:

Hello,

As a paying customer, I feel totally gutted you're telling me this. At no point 
did I raise any concerns as I understand how the current version is made and is 
meant to work, when it does.

At the moment, it doesn't, while i've still been paying for it, but when it did it 
was fine.

I am appalled that you aren't trying to provide a proper solution, I don't want or 
care for your offline version, I want you to repair what I'm paying for.

I don’t know if this is artificially intelligence or some stupid boiler plate ;- ) Thank you that you take the labour to ask…I probably thought it would be useless…..and I was right :- )

But at least the network team is on it …or isn’t it?

I just received an email claiming they fixed it and they actually did because I am voice typing this :ok_hand:

So that was far from useless Thanks guys.

Hello Pierric,

You’re right, and I apologize, my previous reply focused on the long-term roadmap instead of addressing the fact that the feature you’re paying for is broken right now. That wasn’t the right response to your issue.

Good news: our technical team identified the root cause of this specific bug. It turned out to be a server-side compatibility issue (the voice-to-text backend was using an older protocol that had been deprecated upstream), and a fix has just been deployed on our end.

Could you please try voice-to-text again now and let us know if it’s working for you? If it’s still not working, please let us know and we’ll keep investigating on our side, this would no longer be a ā€œwait for the futureā€ answer, but an active bug we’re tracking until it’s resolved.

Thank you for your patience, and again, apologies for the earlier mismatched response.

Best regards,

Haydee Elizondo

I still find this a bit irritating as this happened already on 18 May and didn’t helped a bit to solve the problem…and that there were no indicators inside the network team about a non-functional state of the service.
