Hey guys,

I'm thinking of getting Poco X3 however I feel in love with Google Recorder app on my Pixel 2 and as a student, it's hard to live without all the audio AI transcription magic. I know previously Google Recorder transcript option didn't work on MIUI 11 devices. Does it work with Poco's MIUI 12?

Much appreciated if somebody can confirm it.

Best regards,

I'm on MIUI global 12.0.2
Not supported in PlayStore, tried from ApkMirror and the unofficial one from AndroidFileHost both found here:

And they both crash
Thanks @bacitoto. Good to know. Have you tried the newest version of the apk? I've seen that some older, unofficial versions are are more likely to work on non-Pixel devices such as version 0.5.257343194 (gosh, what a version number).

Well it didn't crash when I clikced record, but it can't record anything:
time stuck at 0:00 and can't pause, have to go back to stop recording and can't play the recording either

Ok. And most importantly, the transcribe feature doesn't work, right? Well, thanks a bunch. If there only would be a way to mod the app to work...

Transcribe also doesn't work.
I'll try and find a working version, because this is actually a really cool app/feature. If not we'll need to wait for custom roms

Yeah, it's magically the way it works. I mean, anything that you listen to: complicated lecture, zoom meeting at work etc becomes instantly transcribed and searchable. This app is pure gold. Especially now with the endless Zoom calls. Instead of having to take notes and later reviewing recordings u really can get all the info u want right away. The app works very well even with people speaking with heavy accents etc

This article explains the issue with MIUI:
"Android software without significant modifications to the TextView component in the Android framework. It seems that the Google Recorder app fails to work properly on certain devices because those devices are running software with modifications to TextView."
