| What goes wrong | Effect | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Picking Supernormal for a language outside its 7 | The language is not covered at all | Check your language against its current list |
| Expecting speaker labels on every platform | Supernormal states them for Mac only | Confirm your device before relying on labels |
| Assuming Supernormal exports subtitle files | Its file formats are not listed | Pick Potok when SRT or VTT is required |
| Expecting translated transcript text from Potok in another language | The text stays in the spoken language | Run a separate translator on the exported text |
| Deciding from one line of the table alone | A strong line can hide a weak one that matters for your recording | Go through every row and mark the ones that are deal breakers for you |
