[Limitations of Loom Analytics Desktop - Hermit](https://support.loomanalytics.com/loom-analytics-desktop-hermit?hsLang=en#limitations-of-loom-analytics-desktop-hermit) # What Are the Limitations of Loom Analytics Desktop - Hermit? ## The below article highlights the limitations of Loom Analytics Desktop - Hermit #### Limitations of Loom Analytics Desktop - Hermit: **1. Slower Transcription Speed:** Loom Analytics Desktop - Hermit relies on the processing power of personal computers. This means that transcription times can be slower compared to cloud-based Loom Analytics Web. For instance, transcribing one hour of audio may take up to 40 minutes. **2. Limited File Format Support:** Loom Analytics Desktop - Hermit has restricted file format compatibility compared to Loom Analytics Web: a. No DCR Conversion Support: Digital Court Reporter (DCR) file conversion is not supported. b. No Voxlog Support: Voxlog files are incompatible with Loom Analytics Desktop - Hermit. c. No DSS and DCT Support: While Loom Analytics Web supports DSS and DCT file formats, these are not available on Loom Analytics Desktop - Hermit. **3\. Grammar-Ready Formatting:** Grammar-ready formatting is not currently supported. **4\. No Speaker Labelling:** Speaker labels are not available in the Desktop - Hermit version. **5\. Limited Profiles:** Loom Analytics Desktop - Hermit has a limited selection of profiles and currently only supports non-medical profiles. Medical profiles are not available currently. If you upload files with medical terminology, please expect a blank or poor-quality transcript. **6\. No Audio Events Support:** Audio event detection (e.g., identifying claps, music, coughs, or interruptions) is not supported. **7\. No Closed Captions:** The Desktop - Hermit version does not currently generate closed captions for audio or video files. **8\. Limited Language Support:** Loom Analytics Desktop - Hermit supports transcription exclusively in English, with the following regional variations: \- English (United States) \- English (Canada) \- English (United Kingdom) \- English (Australia) Other languages are not supported currently.
