Was good. Crashes with update

App was great once you got used to the quirks. The update in January made it unusable.

The best local dictation app period

I have been experimenting with many different transcript and dictation app and this is by far the best one I could find on App Store

Awesome on iPad Pro 11 M2

I'd been working on transcribing recorded meetings on mbp 16 / 2019 Intel, and the large-v2 or -v3 models could take 14hrs on a 3hr recording.
I looked for an alternative, saw the comments about the Apple silicon / Metal improvement, dropped that sucker on my iPad Pro 11 (4thGen / M2), and it ran that same process in under 2 hours. Amazing. Quality on 'medium' model a little gappy sometimes, but the recording wasn't perfect either. Very impressed - just added another monster solution to the swiss army knife iPad.

Too much UI/UX Bug
