Really love the application, very easy to use and just works. However I am missing 2 things, first of all easy support of other languages and second sometimes it doesn't pick up very good at English, there is no easy way to trim or enhance that(there are some settings to filter slurs but none to enhance numbers etc). Also it could use a default "Force in foreground" mode, although one can easily add this with a single right click. Best Application I have used so far!
