Retry on network error?

I’ve witnessed this happen frequently too - which in practise makes the app un useable for me as it’s so frequent (most attempts at transcription now I’ve gone beyond the 30 minute free amount. I wonder if this is somehow worsened as you transcribe more, but maybe that’s my imagination). I have payed for “whisper pro” and the error can be forced by selecting aircraft mode at which point it trashes the recording- it won’t transcribe it when the device is taken off aircraft mode. If internet connection is flakey (or non existent - Eg when out and about using an iPad) it means you can’t know if you’ll get a transcription if it was of live speech which renders it a useless app for me.

Why does it even need to speak to the network when I’ve paid for a whisper pro subscription prior to transcription? It’s nice to have transcriptions pop up on my other device(s) linked by my iCloud account for sure - but I’d be happy if it “synched” when it could rather than having to do it immediately or it fails and trashes the recording. Trashing a recording in any way is really bad news. Being able to ask it to retry transcription would be super helpful as a work round for this and I’m guessing other errors.
