Are used to use the Dragon dictation software but is no longer offered on iPad. ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-11-13, version 1.0* High level of accuracy and word recognition. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Zoom zoom, better talk fast or else it will start over!!!! useless!!!! *2024-10-03* If you pause more than a second, then the dictation will start over. There’s no way to speak into this and create notes. The latest update has rendered this app totally useless. It almost seems like this app is being worked on by fast talking, young, GenZ developers. ### 1/5 — It stops dictating at about 50 words in *2022-11-05* Not a good app to use for school in recording lectures. The app only has the ability to record 50 words total before it cuts off. The dictation is perfect though very seldom misses words! Fix the the length and I will re-rate. As of now the app is useless to me! ### 1/5 — Requires sending to apple *2021-03-23, version 1.0* Not a good thing. Dragon dictation is what I use and it doesn't send everything you say to apple ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-02-04* It stops dictating about thirty words in. ### 2/5 — Short phrases *2021-03-11, version 1.0* Is there a setting for creating longer texts than a few sentences? Otherwise it has the functionality worked out rather nicely. ### 3/5 — Timing *2023-04-12, version 1.0* You have a very very short period to record. Just a few seconds over a minute. Not long enough ### 3/5 — No info on conversion length *2020-09-09, version 1.0* Accuracy of word recognition is very good. Doesn’t provide any info on how long the speech sample can be or the text length can go to. It stopped typing my speech after 6 sentences, so uninstalled the app. A better description of the app would be more helpful. ### 4/5 — Nice! *2023-10-25* I downloaded prolly 15 text to speech apps before this I already love it,especially the save feature! It is really nice and free! ### 4/5 — Is there a delete button somewhere? *2022-05-20* How do you delete transcriptions you no longer want? ### 5/5 — Whoever made this app is a freaking genius!!! *2022-06-07* I drive A Lot for work and people text me all day… This app most definitely is gonna save my life!!! All I have to do is talk and it puts what I say on the screen and I can send it right out!!! On top of that… I use it to search on the internet and EVERYTHING!!! This just makes things SOOOOOO much simpler… THANK YOU!!! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — You have a WINNER *2022-02-22* You have a Great Product, easy to use. Not a lot of different buttons to choose and remember. As my Grandfather used to say. K.I. S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) THANKS ### 5/5 — Good app *2022-02-05* This free app really works. ### 5/5 — Review *2022-01-30* I also don’t usually leave reviews about apps. This app is free and actually works quite well. I would spend the time to explore this app if you’re looking for a convenient way to send dictations any place or simply save them. ### 5/5 — Dictator- speech to text *2021-12-16* Excellent little software that does its job well. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted!! *2021-05-21* As a novelist, sometimes ideas just pop into my mind as I’m driving; this app is a great way to capture those ideas :) thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-10-15, version 1.0* Very easy to use especially since my English is heavily accented. I’ll give this a 10 star if l could. ### 5/5 — DW *2020-07-30, version 1.0* Easy to use and very accurate. ### 5/5 — Bggg *2020-05-11, version 1.0* Hbhghb ### 5/5 — Very accessible and usable. *2019-12-10* This app is very accessible and usible. However, when you double tap on the microphone button, you looes speech from VoiceOver, and theirs no audible indication that dictation has started. Please fix in future update. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
