Doesn’t work?
I don’t see any recent reviews for this app, and maybe there’s a reason for that. This app was recommended on a deaf/hard of hearing website as a good captioning app for your phone. Seemed simple, open the app, tap the microphone, and go. It worked for a bit, the free version only transcribes 60 seconds at a time. So I bought a subscription for unlimited captions, thinking I could use it a lot to help me understand people around me. But then it just stopped working altogether. When I tap the microphone, it blinks but doesn’t transcribe anything. I checked for updates, none needed. I will be unsubscribing, it’s not worth it, even if it was free.

Inaccurate
This is really bad.
Just downloaded the app
I thought I would try it out. I use another app that allows me lots of time for free. It understands song lyrics and different people. I'm not thrilled at having to pay for this app....we will see.
Freezing
But the app. Paid the $2.99.You can use it for about an hour and a half on either my husband’s iPhone seven or on my brand new iPad, and it works wonderfully then freezes up I have to turn off the appliance in reboot in order to get a green microphone on the app it’s very frustrating
Only captions my voice!
I bought this app with hopes of it working. It does caption MY voice but no one else’s. I have tried multiple people and proximities. Please help! I’d love to have this work for me due to severe heating loss.
The function of the app was fine
It’s $2.99 a month. It gave the message to subscribe, after 60 seconds of use. The app works, I’ll give it that. The text is big and clear. But I didn’t use it long enough to see that it was better than the regular Speech to Text. The mic icon on the onscreen keyboard for any standard text input field.

Request to have a Clear Button and start a new line after a sentence.
I have bad hearing loss . I just got this app and subscribed today.
This app seems to capture words more accurately and faster than other apps that I have used.
My request to improve this app:
1. Please have a CLEAR TEXT button on the top row so that it’s easy to clear the text from the screen.
2. Please add a period or a slash after a person finishes his sentence.
If adding a period or slash is hard to program, please have new sentence start on a new line. Or have color changed for each sentence after a sentence paused.
(We don’t normally Stare at the screen and follow the text caption all the times. This way when we take a quick glance at the transcript, we can easily understand that a person has stopped and started a new sentence).
Hope it can be fixed soon. Please reply and let me know when this can be fixed.
This will help me with my hearing loss tremendously.
Best regards,

Awful
I am sorry, I never submit reviews, but because I have been charged 3.23$ on regular basis despite the fact that I do not use and I tried it one day and discontinued.
I don’t know what else to do.
I have contacted my credit card and Apple re this last month and it was refunded. Yet again, on 12/8/2019 I was charged again $3.23.
I would appreciate if your app would discontinue charging for not providing any services.
Thank you.

Awful!
It really does NOT work! Just awful - it misheard many words and keeps changing what’s being said so I couldn’t use it!
Won’t open
Can’t even get the app to open the try it.
Disappointing
Not very accurate and throws in occasional curse words. Wish there was a better app then this available. I recently loss my hearing and was excited to purchase it but now I wouldn’t recommend it.
Super Helpful
Immediately impressed w the word accuracy, easy of use, and large type. Tried this w a co-worker who struggles to hear and it was an instantly a relief. Would like to correct common words but don’t see the ability to toggle options.
New verison crashing my iphone
I already delete and reinstall, crashing. Need check
Omg horrible!
The translation was so far off track from the actual dictation to the point there was sexual references in there that wasn’t even in the conversation. App is deleted!!
Not working well..
Not working with incoming phone calls or teleconference call. It works barely on one on one conversation BUT if the person has an accent, forget it.
Awesome Communication for the Deaf, too!
Deaf and able to communicate with various of people. Including my doctor when no interpreter is available. Love it! Thank you for creating an awesome app for the Deaf people, too!
Microphone
I love it but it don’t have microphone for iPad. I looked for it but couldn’t find. Anyway i put five stars, smile
Disability abuse
Charging people with hearing loss 2.99 a month for something that apple note does almost as well if not better is a scam. I’d gladly pay -a flat fee for unlimited mic but not monthly, shame on you for picking on disabled people
It does NOT do what it says
It might work if you speak super slowly (which never happens in the real world) and even so, it stops after one or two sentences.
What's even more, if you play a lecture on YouTube (let's say on the Harvard channel) it never works even though youtube's own voice recognition works really well (albeit still imperfect).
Don't buy - wasted money.
I am deaf by the way.

Does not work as advertised
This app adds no functionality. It simply rebrands the default behavior of the iOS dictation feature built into the system keyboard and charges you $5.
