Great App - Thank You

For me it’s a great app. I have a bit of a problem remembering an entire conversation. This app has helped me quite a bit in recalling them. It is nice to have an instant replay to job my memory!

Fantastic!

Aiko is one of the most useful apps I’ve added to my workflow. The interface is clean, intuitive, and refreshingly minimal—there’s no clutter, just a tool that does exactly what it promises.

What sets Aiko apart for me is its commitment to local processing. Being able to keep both my audio recordings and transcriptions on-device provides a level of privacy and control that is increasingly rare. The transcription quality is excellent, setup is effortless, and the app stays out of the way so I can focus on my work.

Simple, fast, reliable, and privacy-focused. Highly recommended.

Simply awesome

The app works great and it respects user’s privacy by not collecting data. It’s also the only app I’ve found where one can drag an audio from iMessage and drop it in the app to get a transcription, which is useful for users that use the phone in multiple languages.

Confusing

I paid, I downloaded, I opened it, and I'm confused about how to use it. You capture one note, you don't know where it went, then you start to record another thing, and you don't know where the first note went. It's so confusing. I really regret paying for this thing. Never pay for something you cannot try ever again.

Doesn’t Work

I tried using this app instead of Otter.AI, but the tool got stuck transcribing the first few words in my recording over and over. I adjusted the settings to prevent the error, but doing so had no effect. Wish I could get a refund! In Otter, the transcription worked just fine with the same audio clip.
