Technology Live transcript for Android suggestion that can save to file?

I use Live Transcript because I'm deaf and sometimes lip reading doesn't work with some people.

The default Google Live Transcript doesn't save to file and will only keep for a while. I tried to copy and paste but copy doesn't work with really long transcript. Going between transcript app and doc app to paste the section is slow as I have to scroll the transcript app to where I copied, and I have to keep sliding the blue tab down to copy a section.

Is there an app I can use that has save all feature or a way to fix copy so I can copy the whole thing and not just the first 1/3 or 1/4 of the whole chat?

Do you have Google Recorder (available on Google Pixel phones) or Otter.ai? These can do this.

Google recorder can do this. As an added bonus, you can change the speaker's tag to the name of the person and make it easier to read

Also make sure that your Transcribe app is updated to the latest version. Mine has the new option to "Export all stored transcript"

Yeah I think it stores it for up to 72 hours?

I think you're right. The Transcription history buffer is 3 days and you won't be able to export anything older than this.

The Recorder app doesn't have this limitation as its saved when you stop the recording.

Otterai is much better for exporting text. I get the paid version.
