The processing takes time so you can’t have a consistent flow of thought and have to pause for the computer to catch up. It doesn’t naturally recognize punctuation or grammar from the flow of your sentences so you have to go back and edit it, and if you speak the punctuation it will often add extra spaces. Some of the voice commands don’t work at all, such as “select that line”, “select that paragraph”, or “redo that.” It’s a good idea and it is free, but it’s honestly more time consuming to use than just typing it out to begin with. ### 2/5 — Punctuation would be nice *2024-09-27* Glad to be able to not miss info during meeting but one big sentence pages long? It doesn’t recognize a pause as an end of sentence. ### 2/5 — Dictation App *2024-05-27* It appears to work but it does it slowly and then chunks. The end result is OK but one never knows if it caught all the information that was said. ### 3/5 — Not a great easy way to begin as new file *2025-04-09* Needs to stream line the storage options. ### 4/5 — Dictation app *2026-04-23, version 1.1.5* Mostly it works well speak clearly I love it and will continue to use it ### 4/5 — Regard *2025-12-12* So useful and unbelievable correct. ### 4/5 — Dictation App *2024-07-16* It appears to work but it does it slowly and then chunks. The end result is OK but one never knows if it caught all the information that was said. I changed my opinion after using this App for some time. It has been working very well since my original review was written and recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-16, version 1.1.5* Works great saves me so much time love it ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Like it *2026-03-28* But i do not know if it is free or not ? Until now is seems free ### 5/5 — Real time dictation *2025-12-01, version 1.1.5* Perfect, real time, everyone should get it ### 5/5 — Writing stories *2025-11-22* I love the Dictation App. I speak what I want to say and then edit my story. I have really enjoyed remembering my childhood stories, from my own thoughts. ### 5/5 — Golden app *2025-07-20* Fantastic app for practitioner who dictate for someone ### 5/5 — Wow:) *2025-07-08* Best experience ### 5/5 — A very good app *2025-02-16* It seemed more accurate than Dragon Anywhere and Microsoft Voice, I like it for its handy commands. ### 5/5 — Efficient System *2025-01-22, version 1.1.5* This by far is the most efficient and effective app I have used. It is not complicated to use. And easy to understand and how to use it. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Initials thoughts *2024-12-21* It’s the first time I’m using this app so far it’s working fabulous! ### 5/5 — Surprisingly, accurate and simple. *2024-08-09* If you were looking for an app to just do simple and straightforward dictation without all of the frills, this is it. Surprisingly accurate dictation, even for medical terms. More accurate than some of the expensive apps I have tried. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
