Between approximately August 3 and August 9, Zoom Linking was unavailable. Users attempting to connect saw “Zoom (searching)” indefinitely, and linking did not complete.

The outage was caused by a server configuration error following recent maintenance. We’ve corrected the configuration and implemented steps to ensure the Zoom Linking service automatically restarts after any future server updates or reboots.

We sincerely apologize for the disruption and appreciate the reports that helped us identify and resolve the issue. Zoom Linking is now functioning normally.

Issue resolved.

Our public website (www.typewell.com) is now back online following an upstream outage that impacted our hosting provider (Kinsta) and Cloudflare. The disruption was external to TypeWell’s systems and services.

Throughout the incident, all core TypeWell services remained fully operational:

• Web Linking (real-time transcription) was unaffected
• User accounts and license management remained accessible
• LEO continuing education courses remained accessible
• Support center and ticketing remained accessible

We have confirmed that normal website functionality has been restored. We will continue to monitor closely.

Thank you for your patience as we worked with our partners to resolve the issue.

From our website hosting provider, Kinsta:

Jun 12, 2025 - 19:22 UTC - Update - Cloudflare has indicated they have identified the issue. We are awaiting confirmation as to when service will be restored to the services affecting our integration.

TypeWell Status Update: Website Availability Disruption

We are currently experiencing a disruption in the availability of our website (www.typewell.com) due to an outage at our web hosting provider, Kinsta. This issue is primarily caused by an a widespread problem with Cloudflare, which is affecting the service provided by Kinsta.

NOTE: This is only impacting our "marketing" website, typewell.com. All other systems/services are not impacted, to best of our knowledge. Our streaming text platform (aka Web Linking) is not impacted, so any real-time transcription services can continue without interruption.

We have completed a certificate update on our Web Linking servers. The certificate chain is now correctly configured and trusted by all major browsers. This should resolve the certificate errors (NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID) that some users were seeing earlier.

If you or your team continue to encounter any issues accessing Web Reader pages, please try clearing your browser cache or restarting the browser, and contact us if the problem persists.

We appreciate your patience while we addressed this issue.

We have identified a certificate configuration issue on our Web Linking servers. This is causing some users to see a browser error (NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID) when attempting to access a Web Reader page.

The underlying cause is a missing intermediate certificate on the server. Many browsers will connect normally if they already trust the certificate chain, but others will block the connection. This issue may affect both transcribers and readers (students), depending on their browser and device.

If you encounter this error and need immediate access to a Web Reader page for real-time communication, trying a different browser (such as Chrome) may allow you to connect successfully while we work on the permanent fix.

We are actively working on a permanent fix to ensure full compatibility across all devices and browsers. We will update this notice as soon as the issue is resolved.

The issue affecting our main website has been identified and resolved. Typewell.com is now fully operational. If you continue to experience any access issues, please contact us at support@typewell.com.

Please note: This incident did not impact our Continuing Education site (learn.typewell.com) or our Online Training & Software License Management site (user.typewell.com). However, we recognize that some users attempt to access these services through the main Typewell.com homepage, which may have caused confusion during the outage.

We are actively monitoring the website to ensure continued stability and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

On Thursday, June 5, 2025 between 2:30pm–6pm PT, the typewell.com website experienced an unexpected interruption in service (for at least some users).

Site maintenance was completed with minimal interruption.

The typewell.com website will be down for scheduled maintenance between 7pm and 11pm MT on Sunday, March 2, 2025.

The latest revision (887) of V8 Transcriber and V8 Connect has a fix that resolves the lag issue on Windows 11 computers. To download and install that update, users canCheck for Software Updates. 

We are testing a potential fix today (11-05-2024). Interested users can reach out to support@typewell.com for a link to download this test build. If successful among our testers, we'll post a resolution by the end of this week.

We are currently tracking the number of TypeWell users affected by the lag issue and monitoring the workarounds they are implementing. At this time, we do not have a new build or version that fully resolves the issue. Some Windows 11 users have opted to pause their updates until a fix is available.

To stay updated on our progress, please complete one of the tracking forms on this page: https://typewell.reamaze.com/articles/announcement-update-on-typewell-lag-issues

The problem was initially triggered by Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 (KB5043076), which was released in September.

NOTE: The subsequent Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5043145) – also dated 2024-09 – has been installed by multiple transcribers, who reported that it does not resolve the lagging issue.

We are currently addressing performance challenges related to recent Microsoft updates that have affected transcription in TypeWell. To better understand the issue, we're surveying users for their Windows specifications and conducting thorough testing to identify the source. Our goal is to find effective workarounds and potential fixes. For detailed information on the ongoing situation, please refer to our article here.
