# Lost a dictation? It's in History.

Revisit saved transcripts, translate them or recover text that did not reach your writing app.

## View the original and the finished result

Open History in the sidebar, find a record and use View original in its More actions menu. Copy the result when you want to use it in another document.

A saved voice record can be a starting point for another draft. View its original transcript, translate it and choose between the result versions you have kept.

## Translate without replacing earlier versions

If the original transcript is saved, choose Translate or Translate again, then select a language and translation mode. Earlier result versions remain available.

## Choose which version to use

When a record has multiple saved versions, use its version selector to view a different result. You can compare the original, polished and translated results that exist for that record.

## Return to a recording when it is available

Play back a saved recording, transcribe it again, or copy the text into another app.

## FAQ

### Will translating delete my earlier result?

No. A completed history translation adds a result version. Earlier versions remain available; if translation fails, existing content is kept.

### Can every record be translated or replayed?

Translation needs a saved original transcript. Playback and transcription again need saved audio. These actions are unavailable when the required content is missing.

### Does my voice history follow me to another computer?

No. Voice history stays on this computer, and you choose how long it's kept.
