### 1/5 — Misleading

*2026-05-20*

Does not transcribe instantly. Almost all note takers don’t transcribe instantly. I canceled.

### 1/5 — Subscription 🤮🤮👎👎

*2025-04-18*

* Add lifetime purchase 
* add arabic language transcribe like the apps (Transcribe - Speech to Text ) and the app (Transcribe Voice to Text Vori)
and add kurdish language if it’s a possible (sorani, kurmanji)
* add option select text to copying

👎👎

### 1/5 — Awful app don’t dowload

*2025-01-06, version 3.6.7*

The translations don’t even work and it costs £20

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-09-13*

I was disappointed with this trial because after transcribing it would shut down completely on me. It doesn’t save transcriptions.

### 2/5 — Transcription do not show

*2025-06-24*

In the preview I see some words, but when I open the document there is nothing but the audio.

### 4/5 — Gadamongui

*2026-07-03*

Garis ita

### 4/5 — Love this

*2026-04-14*

It's very helpful for me a community college student and for any student its easy to use takes good clear quality notes and transcribed them in detail

### 4/5 — Export function not working on app

*2026-02-22, version 5.2.4*

I’m finding the transcription and AI summary function useful. But on the Cockatoo app for iPhone/IOS, the export function does not seem to be working. So I need to log onto the Cockatoo website and export the file there. Hence, 4 star instead of 5 stars. 

Minor quips: I could only sign up with my Apple account on the app, not the website. This led to some confusion when logging into the website, as I didn’t have a password and needed to use a work-around to create one.  The pricing plans and offers did not align between website and app, which created more confusion. 

Otherwise, this was a good product that I would recommend for transcribing.

### 5/5 — Work of art

*2026-08-05*

Yes

### 5/5 — It's a real time saver

*2025-06-15, version 3.8.4*

I write articles for a local newspaper group and Cockatoo saves me so much time when it comes to interview quotes. Who needs shorthand when there’s Apps like this.

### 5/5 — Fast speed and perfect transcription

*2025-03-02*

I use this to transcribe my professors lectures to notes and find it to be the best tool out there for both speed and accuracy

### 5/5 — Simply Incredible

*2024-12-23*

Cockatoo is super simple and powerful. Does real time transcription that’s spot on and works in multiple languages for those like myself who are multilingual. You can import files too which makes it even handier. Honestly just makes life so much easier and it’s completely free too

### 5/5 — The best speech to text app I’ve ever used!!

*2024-12-10*

Cockatoo has completely changed how I work and dictate notes. The accuracy is incredible, even with tricky words or background noise, and it picks up everything I say without missing a beat. I love how easy it is to use—just open it up, start talking, and it handles the rest. The formatting is clean, it understands punctuation commands, and it integrates seamlessly with other apps, which is a huge plus. Whether I’m taking quick notes, drafting emails, or brainstorming ideas, this app makes the process effortless. It feels natural and reliable, and I genuinely can’t imagine going back to typing everything out. Highly recommended!
