Thank you, Nancy đ.
Today , 18 January 2024, I can happily report that the transcription malfunction issue on Dropbox.com is 100% resolved. Ben from the Dropbox advanced support team let me know that on 17 January the engineering team implemented some more changes and that seems to have resolved everything perfectly.
Thank goodness, I canât do without Dropbox hugely impressive transcription function anymore.
I am very pleased with Dropboxâs customer support, here on the forum and via email. Also the engineering team was able to fix this serious issue in a matter of days. Thank you all!
With kind regards,Grover.

Unfortunately, today I discovered that the Dropbox audio transcription functionality is still not reliable , despite the efforts of the engineering team. Although it is not so seriously malfunctioning as last week anymore, it still is too buggy.
There are small segments in many of my newly made (today) transcriptions that are not fully transcribed by Dropbox AI transcription service. I am missing parts of the text, so I again am forced to listen to the audio snippets and simply can not rely on Dropboxâs transcription service to perform well.
My business is depended on complete transcriptions (because I need to share those text transcriptions with colleagues, who canât listen back to the individual audio segments related to the transcription, because they donât have a paid Dropbox subscription).
Itâs not a big problem if the transcription is not 100% accurate (in other words: when Dropbox understands a spoken word wrong) , but when many text sentences are simply missing , then thereâs a big problem. It needs to be complete. Otherwise the transcription is not a proper representation of my audio files.
I am very frustrated that I can still not deliver the 12 transcriptions that I need to deliver to my colleague this week, because Dropbox is still not functioning as it should.
It is costing me lots of time, energy and frustration, also because all this is happing exactly at a point in time where I need to prepare workshops that are based on the contents of my audio recordings.
Question: until Dropbox getâs this fixed: can someone from the support team or enduser community, point me towards an alternative AI multi-language transcription service?
Thank you.
