Die App kennt keine unregelmäßigen Verben und auch keine Fachausdrücke wie beispielsweise "Beaufort" für die Windstärke. schade.

Audioeingang manuell einstellen geht nicht mehr

Es funktioniert leider nicht mehr nach dem neuesten Update auf iPhone und iPad. Ich habe die pro Version und zwar der Audioeingang, die manuelle Umschaltung. Ich brauche es Audioeingang direkt auf Mikrofon und nicht automatisch auf mein Bluetooth Kopfhörer oder Auto Freisprechanlage. Ich habe es auf beiden Geräten manuell eingestellt und hin und her probiert. Leider wird mein Wunsch nicht angewendet. Ich bitte um Update

Great app, still using after 4 years - wish: record in background

Thanks, love this app. Still my go to speech to text.
But I'd love to have feature of recording in background. As I find it's helpful to refer to notes while I'm dictating. Thanks!

This app, does not allow you to back up so it doesn’t work as well as an old-time tape recorder

Verbesserungsbedürftig

Verwende die App seit zwei Jahren.
Sowohl Diktierfunktion als auch KI sind verbesserungsbedürftig. Individuell angelegte Vokabeln werden maximal random angewendet. Die Interpunktion ist unzuverlässig. Endungen, Konjunktive, Groß- und Kleinschreibung gelingen nur unzuverlässig. Ich
muss absolut jedes Dokument überarbeiten. Vorteil ist, dass die Daten auf Wunsch nur auf dem Handy bleiben und die Bearbeitung verbessert wurde. Insgesamt erleichtert es die Arbeit.
