### 1/5 — Einfach umbenennen um ne u zu kassieren - abzocke

*2026-02-22*

dictate + connect gekauft und gelegentlich verwendet. Nun stürzt es auf meinem neuen iPad permanent ab. Und was lese ich, es sei im Ruhestand. Es wird auf die Homepage verwiesen. Und auf der Homepage sieht man genau diese App, so wie sie bei mir auch immer aussah. 
Es geht euch also nur darum, noch einmal abzukassieren. Das ist abzocke! Auf keinen Fall werde ich noch einmal bezahlen.

### 1/5 — Leider nach iphone Update auf iOS 14.6 nicht zu gebrauchen

*2021-06-27*

Nicht mehr nach Update auf 14.6 zu gebrauchen. Absicht? Man müsste nun neu das nächste Programm der Entwickler kaufen - sehr trauriges Geschäftsgebaren.

### 5/5 — Accessible and easy to use.

*2019-12-10*

This app is accessible and easy to use with VoiceOver. However, double tapping the play button doesn't play your dictation, instead, it gets stuck. Could you please fix it?

### 2/5 — Free version is of no utility other than a demo

*2019-09-09*

A work colleague advised me to download the “Dictate” app in a new temporary job but did not specify which version. 

I downloaded the “Lite” version without reading the full description and wasted a large amount of time trying to troubleshoot why I couldn’t record more than 30 seconds- eventually I found the explanation in a “Note” somewhere. 

i had to download the paid version at $26.99 AUD to dictate a small number of letters - the paid app looks pretty good, and is used regularly by my current temporary. I would have liked to know that I had to have the full version from the outset. The “Lite” app is no more than a demo.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr

*2019-07-03*

Unterstützt keine iPhones neuer als 4 Jahre. Leider. War eine tolle app, aber mittlerweile ist die App nicht mehr ohne Abstürzte benutzbar und ist extrem langsam. Der Support reagiert nicht mehr und die Hotline ist nicht mehr geschaltet. Ich empfehle DICTAPHONE.

### 1/5 — Poor support

*2018-04-01*

Doesn’t even support a headset.
Developer has not updated the app for over a year. Now one should buy this.

### 2/5 — 30 Sekunden Diktat

*2017-07-03*

In Gratisversion als Diktatprogramm mit 30 Sekunden nicht wirklich brauchbar. Vollversionfunktionen wohl gut.

### 5/5 — Works for a doctor doing dictation

*2017-01-13*

We have been using the paid version and it's been working well. Use ftp with ssl to comply with HIPAA.  It doesn't support tls session resume, but hopefully it gets fixed soon.

### 5/5 — RICHTIG GUT

*2016-11-07*

Kann nicht verstehen warum diese geniale App nicht viel mehr Beachtung findet. Wer jemals mit Tonaufnahmen gearbeitet hat und dieses Programm noch nicht kennt, wird beeindruckt sein. Der für mich größte Vorteil besteht in Einstellbaren Rückspzlzeit und der Möglichkeit eine Fusstaste anzuschließen.  Das nachträgliche Einfügen und Löschen funktioniert ausserden zuperübersichtlich.

### 2/5 — Very poor

*2016-03-14*

I'm not sure why people are complaining about it only recording 30 seconds. It says quite clearly that the free app has this restriction. Anyway, I wanted to try before buying but the recordings are clipped. Sentences run into each other possibly due to the voice activation but making some things incomprehensible. The controls are simple but the app itself is not very intuitive. I should have realised when the marketing copy was saying how much better it is than using a dictaphone with tapes. Seriously, do people still use those? No way I would spend money on this.
