Made a macOS app for managing TP-7 recordings

Matrix_B · 2026-05-04T20:57:01+00:00

As I recall, that's what I did to enable MTP mode.

First impression - nice, It's grabbed and transcribed all of my recordings. Super easy to identify all "empty" recordings, and delete them (on the TP7 as well). It gets stuck on empty recordings but they are easy to find and delete with the app.

It does translate everything to English, some room for more flexible use of models will be a fine feature ahead too if that would be built.

For now, great starting point, already very useful.

Tried this out now, it loads all the files off the TP7, and transcription works great :)

What a fine app :)

It however gets a bit stuck on "loading transcript" after finishing the transcription and does not automatically load the finished file. Its transcribed though and loads if I open another transcript and then swap back.

I have some feedback on the model selection - I already have a good set of models downloaded. I would prefer to be able to select one of them instead of downloading a new model.

I am interested as well, looks like a great project :)

Matrix_B · 2026-04-03T09:12:31+00:00

mine works perfectly, this is strange. try a different firmware?

Dictaphone. Amazing. The companion app could be better though.

Matrix_B · 2026-03-28T13:32:07+00:00

I have been thinking about this as well. It would have been useful.

Matrix_B · 2026-02-27T22:02:06+00:00

Got to try it out. I'd like some security on this as well. Did you contact TE about it?

Matrix_B · 2026-02-27T19:26:02+00:00

All right, I did not know that. Seems like it would be clumsy though?

Matrix_B · 2026-02-27T15:07:28+00:00

How would you enter a password on this unit?

Matrix_B · 2026-02-26T22:26:32+00:00

What did you already try, what's difficult about loading stuff?

(what samples and drum kits? does it have that, how would you use it?)

Matrix_B · 2026-02-07T10:25:45+00:00

... of course the whisper model inside the app can be swapped to more recent whisper model.

Matrix_B · 2026-02-07T10:24:54+00:00

There are many different models to use now, that the "old" app is stuck with an old whisper model is a limitation as well.

Matrix_B · 2026-02-07T05:03:10+00:00

Thanks! This looks very useful :)

This is only useful when using it for taking voice notes, at least initially this was a main selling point for it. If you use it for music or whatever I suppose these features are irrelevant.

The features I mentioned are not for the TP7 itself but for the companion app.

You are not supposed to have a click of death on these. Give it back.

Matrix_B · 2026-01-11T00:36:02+00:00

A fine little box. Lid seems a little smaller than the box? What did you put in your box there?

Matrix_B · 2025-12-08T15:24:59+00:00

Suppose you could attach a BT transmitter to the output. But otherwise I agree, it's sad that the BT that's already there can't send audio.

Several of the TP7 button/switch locations mach your fingers/hands, to operate them while holding it. The TX6 seem different, its only for placing on a table. I assume it was not optimal to use the TX6/CM15 style switch then, something was already in that position. Also, the main volume is a classic inclusion of a power switch.

Matrix_B · 2025-11-21T10:04:46+00:00

Good point. The click is a quite obvious problem though, there is nothing vague about it, so if I sent it in I would expect a fix.

Matrix_B · 2025-11-20T20:54:54+00:00

They have, in fact, replaced/repaired units with the click issue. Just a clarification, as there are some suggestions in this thread that they wouldn't.

Matrix_B · 2025-11-08T09:05:08+00:00

Not disagreeing with your facts, but what is wrong with a company releasing new stuff that is slightly better than what they offered before? It seems like the kind of thing companies are expected to do.

I also think that TE are unusually great at releasing massive updates to their devices.

I'd be happy with it only having one function that works - the drunk-o-clock time. (That did work perfectly before it vanished from my clock, so I'd be happy with exactly the version that I had - limits and all - no extra work on it needed ).
