Letterly User Reviews

Top reviews

A nice simple app that does a lot of powerful things, has a lot of powerful features.

The Developer is very responsive, emailed support and received a reply within the hour. Plus any follow-up emails have been responded to very quickly.

The App works on Mac OSX and on iOS and inputs are viewable on either as the App syncs between devices seamlessly.

This app gives a nice variety of options depending on how you want your text to turn out, whether it just be correcting it to a stage that is more acceptable, or possibly into the form of a specific format such as journaling, report writing, bullet points, scientific, that type of thing.

It has the ability to simplify your text as well as structure it far better.

If you enjoy journaling, then this app will help you also as it has the ability to structure your journal inputs into specific topics, stroke formats.

There is a trial version that works for free, first of all, which gives you lots of features. I quickly decided it was the right one for me and went to Pro and think I've made the right decision.

Surprisingly great

So many of these AI powered apps turn out to be half-baked. Letterly claims they involved a team of world-classs linguists in the development of this app. After testing the app and the various specialty tools in it, I found myself-groping about the attic of my mind looking for an explanation as to why this app was so ON POINT!

I decided it must be the combo of humans ( linguists) guiding the AI that yielded this result. Great job on this thing.

Wow, thank you so much for the incredible review! ๐Ÿ˜Š Itโ€™s true โ€” our team of linguists works closely with the AI to ensure a balance of precision and creativity! Thank you so so much for your support ๐Ÿ’œ

No true iPad version

There are some issues with voice notes not being saved (around telephone calls especially, it's fine if Apple wants to block recording but Letterly should let the end user know the app is blocked) and slow conversions to text.

When Letterly works, the transcriptions are good (not the best, the best I've had are with Kukarella, which unfortunately does not have an iOS app, nor does the mobile website work to record).

What's really frustrating (and the reason for the three star review) though is that there's no true iPad app. All one gets is a tiny vertical window like on an iPhone. On an 12.9 inch iPad, this is a horrible way to work.

Best dictation app out there

I own or subscribe to all the dictation apps out there: Hello, Whisper Memos, Whisper Notes, and several others that all use Whisper for voice-to-text. I've even written my own with Apple Shortcuts and Whisper API calls that do something similar to what this does. I can say, hands down, this one is my favorite. Great UI.

Amazing for productivity in my workflow

Review for the app, Letterly

If youโ€™re looking at the reviews for Letterly, just do yourself a favor and try it out and see for yourself. Itโ€™s been an incredible tool for me.

I have been using dictation for years and while it has made me more productive and increased my writing output tremendously, the most time-consuming and frustrating part was cleaning up the accuracy and structure in my dictation.

Having a tool that can structure what you dictated quickly and easily into a digestible written form is super helpful. The way we talk is not the same as the way we write, and dictation can be hard to capture some of the expectations we have from our writing, especially with structure.

The design of Letterly is exceptional in that it is low friction to start recording and to generate an output. Letterly manages to restructure your writing without introducing any hallucinations or anything you did not say. The prompt design is very thoughtful in that it really constrains the results to be just what you said with no embellishments. It's a way of leveraging AI to actually make your own ideas shine rather than use other people's ideas.

If you're someone who has to communicate any number of ideas, or you just want to capture ideas for your own life with things like journaling, Letterly is a great way to make that easier to do it through voice while still preserving your actual perspective in human voice.

One thing I would like to see the developers add that would be a nice benefit would be to put in your own writing samples as a guide for the model to output something similar and match your voice. All of the existing templates and prompts are extremely useful. That's just one that I think would elevate it and shorten the workflow even more.

Great work development team! I'm excited to use this app for years to come, and I've already recommended it to several of my colleagues. Thanks!

PS: Everything above this was a result of two minutes of me sharing my thoughts about the app into Letterly, and having it structure them through the โ€œMagicโ€ prompt. It covered what I said faithfully, only making it easier to readโ€”which is exactly what I wanted!

Fantastic app to improve communication

Just easy and wonderful to use. Simple interface. Great design. The AI revisions are the best Iโ€™ve seen without prompting.

Buy a gift for family who want to text more but find it tedious.

Hi Rae! appreciate your support so so much! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’œ it really inspires us!

Had completely transformed the way I journal

Sure, this is absolutely fantastic for dictating work emails and getting them edited really well. Content creations also. Even just for that, this app would be amazing. But what blows my mind is the "Journal" edit - I will talk and record as I verbally journal my day, worries, hopes, fears and emotions, and not only will this app do a thematic analysis and group stray thoughts and events together into a pattern, but they will also analyse what you have said and share that analysis with you as a summary. It's like having a mini psychology session! The insights are so succinct and hard-hitting, and really helps you understand yourself and your situation so much better. Definitely top 3 of the best money I've spent on an app.

No words. Perfect summarization of my thoughts

Thank you so much for supporting us ๐Ÿ™ appreciate it!

A great time saver

I gave up on Siri and voice recognition with the inbuilt Apple tools never really getting the quality transcript I expected. Iโ€™d seen this tool recommended elsewhere and thought Iโ€™d give it a go. Iโ€™m super happy with it. Saves me time and the ai often clarifies the structure of my thoughts.

Great for writing quick emails or making notes after a meeting you can go back to. Time in the car travelling can be wasted and this makes the most of that.

Iโ€™ve even recommended this one to my friends which i rarely do.
