30 second Spinvox limit
Bought the app after Reading a review on a website. They made it appear you could record meetings and have Spinvox convert the recordings and email you the text. Unless they only have 30 second meetings then it won't.
The program works fine to record audio and you could send a short email using it but you could also do this with Reqall along with a lot more.
I'm disappointed really wanted it to record and convert audio to text (longer than 30 seconds). Would happily pay more for a service that did this?

☹☹Not true voice to text☹☹
It's not true voice to text app!! It only converts 30sec of voice into text and it's not all that accurate! Email is then sent over their server with both converted text and audio recording. Still looking for true voice to text app that would be easier to use and has the ability to convert large chunks of text right on the device.

This app is brutal
The only reason I am not completly loosing it is because this horrible app only cost 99 cents. I have tested this app many times and no voice to text message has ever been returned. I guess the real kicker is if there are 3999999 other suckers like me out there that thought this app would be amazing then these con artists just made 4000000 bucks and for me that is the kicker.....

good recorder, type your own email though
I purchased this out of interest after liking the free version of Quick voice. Each recording that you want to have transcribed to an email has to be less than 30 seconds long (that is quite a short email if you were to type it yourself). I was surprised though that you don’t get to correct the transcription. When I emailed my partner - Si - it transcribed it as "Cy?" and because you don’t get to see the transcription before it is sent I wouldn’t be confident with its accuracy. The only way around it would be to email the transcription to yourself, correct it and then email it onto the recipient. For an email as short as this it’s hardly worth it. A good idea, needs more work to be useful.

Dont buy for text to voice recognition...
The voice to text feature is fun at first, but too flawed to be of any use and the 30 second limit, c'mon! However, if you take it as a basic recorder, it's neat with a nice interface, very iPhone-like icon (looks like a native app) and the sync feature a real bonus. If it was just a recorder I'd give it 4 stars, but at the moment I find the text thing useless.

QuickVoice - Pro version is dodgy - Free version is great though
Waste of money. Get the Free version instead, which works well. The only difference is, the 'Pro' version gives you Voice To Text, which is useless because:
a) they say it's great for capturing "entire lectures and seminars" - but what they don't tell you is, it only lets you convert voice files of up to 30 seconds! Would need to be a pretty short seminar!
b) you can't see the voice-to-text conversion happening - the application emails the entire voice file to their server, and after about 10 minutes it then emails you back the text version. You can't edit the voice file before sending it, so you can't edit out any mistakes, or if you change your mind about what you wanted to say - everything you say will be converted to text.
c) the text conversion accuracy is dodgy and not suitable for anything other than curiosity value (and a laugh when reading what it thinks you said!) It also attaches your voice file to the email - proof that even the developers aren't confident about the end result of their product.
Verdict: It may work well one day, but it's definitely a 'work in progress' for now. What it desperately needs is a way to edit your recording; and lifting of the 30 second time limit for recordings.

Love it!
This is my favourite app for the iPhone. With the SpinVox feature, it's a no brainer!
I hope in the next release there is no need to send the voice sample by mail to get the text back. Maybe there is a way to integrate the SpinVox engine on the iPhone app itself. If they do this, I will pay 10 times more for the app.

High Quality recording
I have used 8 recording apps and this is by far the best for three reasons: first, the recording quality is very good even with the default setting which is medium; there are four settings, low, medium, high and highest. Second, the ability to email files large files fairly quickly is also very good. Most of the other apps used cumbersome protocols to transfer recordings. The third reason is the very quick response to concerns from support. I was using the free version when I was notified that the Pro version was now available. I downloaded it but it didn't work with my iPod Touch. Within two days of my email to support, the problem was fixed--really remarkable.
