SapoWhisper keeps working after the paste. Search past transcripts, replay the original audio, pin important entries, and run the same clip through another engine when you want a better result.
Search what you already said

Replay the original audio
Listen back before sharing, editing, or comparing transcription quality.
Try another engine later
Re-process the same recording when accuracy matters more than speed.
Pinned transcript
Review, replay, and refine
Keep the original audio, compare engines, and export the result you actually want to keep.
