 ## What is noScribe?
 - An app to produce **high quality transcripts of interviews** for qualitative social research or journalistic use
 - noScribe is **free and open source** ([GPL-3.0](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html)), available for Windows, MacOS and Linux 
-- It runs **completely local** on your computer, protecting the confidentiallity of your interviews. No cloud, no worries
+- It runs **completely locally** on your computer, protecting the confidentiality of your interviews. No cloud, no worries
 - It can distinguish between different **speakers** and understands around 60 languages (more or less, see below)
 - It includes a **nice editor** to review, verify and correct the resulting transcript
 - It is standing on the shoulders of giants: [Whisper from OpenAI](https://github.com/openai/whisper), [faster-whisper by Guillaume Klein](https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper) and [pyannote from Hervé Bredin](https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio)

 - The download is quite large (several gigabytes) due to the included AI models.

 - **Mark Pause**: If enabled, parts of your audio without voice activity will be marked as pauses. Pauses are transcribed as round brackets with one dot per second inside, e.g., "(..)" for a two-second pause. Pauses longer than 10 seconds are written out as "(XX seconds pause)" or "(XX minutes pause)". You have the option to mark either pauses of one second and more ("1sec+"), two seconds and more ("2sec+"), or only the longer ones of three seconds and more ("3sec+"). Choose "none" to disable this feature entirely.
 - **Speaker Detection:** This feature uses the Pyannote AI model to identify distinct speakers in your audio and organizes the transcript accordingly. Choose the number of speakers if known, or select "auto." Opting for "none" bypasses this step altogether, reducing the processing time by approximately half. However, the resultant transcript will be a continuous block of text without any indicators of speaker transitions.
 - **Overlapping Speech**: If enabled, noScribe attempts to mark instances where two people speak simultaneously. The overlapping section is demarcated with //double slashes//. (Note: This is an experimental feature.)
-- **Disfluencies**: If enabled, common speech disfluencies like filler words ("um"), unfinished words or sentences, etc. will also be transcribed. Note that this is not a hard on/off switch, but more of a 'recommendation' for the transcription AI model which only works to some extend.

 - **Timestamps**: When enabled, noScribe incorporates timestamps in the format [hh:mm:ss] into the transcript either at every change of speaker or every 60 seconds. I find these timestamps somewhat distracting, hence my decision to disable them by default. However, they can be quite useful in certain contexts. Even with timestamps disabled, determining the audio timecode for a specific segment is straightforward: simply open the transcript in the noScribe Editor, navigate through the text, and the corresponding timecode will appear in the bottom right corner of the app.

 - Like any other large language model, the whisper model can sometimes **hallucinate**. This is especially prevalent in silent audio passages or when background noise is treated as "text" (see [this study from the Cornell University](https://facctconference.org/static/papers24/facct24-111.pdf) for more info about the issue). We use voice activity detection (VAD) to filter out sections without speech as best as possible. 
 
-  More severely, users also reported cases where words where hallucinated that would fit syntactically into the context, but where actually not present in the orginal audio. Such errors are especially hard to catch.
