Thank you, Nancy 👍.
Today , 18 January 2024, I can happily report that the transcription malfunction issue on Dropbox.com is 100% resolved. Ben from the Dropbox advanced support team let me know that on 17 January the engineering team implemented some more changes and that seems to have resolved everything perfectly.
Thank goodness, I can’t do without Dropbox hugely impressive transcription function anymore.
I am very pleased with Dropbox’s customer support, here on the forum and via email. Also the engineering team was able to fix this serious issue in a matter of days. Thank you all!
With kind regards,Grover.

Just stopped about 3 days ago. Now it just wheels for 10 minutes or so and then gives a generic error message. Tried with various browsers, private settings, browsers updated/reinstalled, VPN on/off etc., cache cleared ... "There was an error loading the transcript." Anyone else getting this? Any solutions?

I've been getting the 4-minute cut-off which others have described. My problem now is that I can't seem to go back and transcribe complete versions of the large number of 20 and 30 minute files that were cut off at 4 minutes. There are inaccuracies in the transcripts but I can mostly live with that for my purposes.
