Almost perfect

This voice —>text app is pretty close to 100% accuracy in most settings. Very pleased with how it’s working so far.

Love the app!!!

I've been waiting for a high-quality transcription app I can use for voice notes stored in my laptop. This one has worked flawlessly for me so far.

Didn’t work for me.

I understand that the quality of the transcript is dependent on the quality of the audio it is receiving. Unfortunately this is not something I have control over..sometimes the audio I am trying to transcribe is a little scratchy or distorted due to presenters shifting their microphone. The audio transcript I received was absolute gobbledygook. It makes no sense whatsoever. Such a shame. I had high hopes.

Hello there! We are really sorry to hear our app didn't meet your expectations. As you already mentioned, the quality of the transcript pretty much depends on the quality of the audio. This is highly affected by multiple factors. To increase accuracy, we always recommend speaking directly to the microphone, recording directly with Transcriber if possible, speaking to the bottom part of iPhone/iPad when recording and especially reducing background noises. Once the negative factors add up, the quality can be significantly decreased. Please contact our customer support who will be able to look into this further. Thanks a lot!

Absolute waste of money

Similar to other recent reviews on here - transcriptions are nowhere to be found. App and reviews show a conflict in turnaround time (1.25 vs 2.5); regardless, transcriptions were never created and my orders were cancelled with no way to resubmit the audios. Customer service is completely unresponsive, cannot even get ahold of them for a refund. I strongly suggest finding a different app.

Hello Amanda! We are sorry to hear you had a negative experience with Transcriber. Once you order a transcription, it can take maximum 2.5x the length of the recording to receive the transcription. For example, 1-hour recording will take up to 2.5 hours but usually, it takes much less. Please message our customer support one more time and I will personally look into this for you. Thanks!

User friendly

Step-by-step tutorial at the beginning makes it much easier to understand how the app works (even non-technical audience).

Amazing App

This app help many students for do there homework and many things

Solid mac app

Transcriber is a recording tool with a very accurate transcription service. Just give it a try

Awful

Not helpful at all. Non of the words or sentences made any sense. Deleted the app within 15 mins of using it.

Hey there! We are sorry to hear that. However, the quality of the transcript is directly dependent on the quality of the input recording our user is able to provide. This is the reason why we strongly recommend avoiding any external interfering elements. Unfortunately, there are still several more factors that might invalidate the recorded input such as accents and dialects. Transcriber also offers 10 minutes of transcription for free, we believe that our users can decide whether the service meets their needs before paying for it.

Not great

The app is extremely slow. It’s been 51 minutes for a 30 minute transcription and it’s still not done. The one I did transcribe wasn’t super accurate. I wished it worked better so unfortunately I won’t continue my subscription after the month is up

Hey there! We're sorry to see you've had a 1-star experience with Transcriber! Transcription turnaround time is 2.5 times the length of your recording in seconds, which means your waiting time is still within the standard. However, if your waiting time differs significantly from this standard, please contact our Customer Support team directly via Transcriber Settings inside the app to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Please note that the quality of the transcript is directly dependent on the quality of the input recording our user is able to provide. This is the reason why we strongly recommend avoiding any external interfering elements. Transcriber also offers 10 minutes of transcription for free so that our users can decide whether the service meets their needs before paying for it. Thanks!

Quality of transcription

The app was great in that I uploaded a voice memo and a short time later. The quality is what I found to be not so great. Multiple duplicate entries that made it difficult to edit the document. I have tried other apps that were better at transcribing. I cancelled my subscription and will try a different app.

Hey there! We're sorry you're leaving, but thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. In order to ensure that the software can create a meaningful output, the recording must be as clean as possible, and the speakers must be audible. Sometimes even that is not enough because of accents and dialects used in the recording. Transcriber also offers 10 minutes of transcription for free so that our users can make an informed decision before purchasing a subscription.
