The best

This is the best audio recorder/transcriber I’ve come across. I used to work in a noisy warehouse and could never hear our team leader during morning meetings. Using this, I was able to catch all the words even with the surrounding noise. Also great with non-English languages. It does what it’s supposed to do- simple as that.

Excellent app easy to use.

I absolutely love this app! Very clear and simple to use and you can copy and paste to anywhere. Definitely worth all the money I paid!

A fantastic app for language learners!

Aiko helps me create subtitles from Chinese videos without captions, making it much easier to study and understand native speech. Simple, accurate, and extremely useful. Thank you for this wonderful tool! 🙏

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!
