@cjpais just seen this - great shout adding this.

It feels a bit weird to me that this is in the About panel, since it's a setting (and the only one in this panel). I assume that you put it here because if affects only the Handy UI and not the actual functionality in use (ie transcription)?

I almost feel like the panes should be something more like:

  • Transcription (incl some of the advanced stuff)
  • Post-Processing
  • Interface (incl overlay position, UI language)
  • History
  • Debug
  • About

But this should probably be it's own discussion.

@dannysmith - yeah I initially wanted it somewhere a bit more obvious but disambiguating between what language is being transcribed vs the UI felt awkward. I really think the UI needs another overhaul generally. Maybe it makes sense to have a globe icon > English dropdown or similar somewhere. Potentially replacing the updates available bit? Or maybe it's in a consistent spot in the UI? I'm not really sure but it could use some help.

I started #449 as a larger discussion about the app and UI generally
