Amazing app

I’ve been using this app and works well. Some translation does not go well but most of the time it’s fine. Cheaper than the other app. Thank you! Nice to be part of the group chats

Best app ever!

My hearing is not good at all.
But with this app, I can stay in the land of the living!

Too fast!

I know people talk fast, but can it be slowed down while reading? Or, can you make a transcription of the sermon or lecture to be read later?

Cuts of sound in my hearing aids

I have Bluetooth linked Phonak hearing aids. When I first got Live Transcribe it worked flawlessly with my aids. Now whenever I turn on Live Transcribe it cuts off the sound in my hearing aids.

Good App

Works well for church meetings and classes. I wish the program had Search and Replace options. Also, I wish the app would let me pause transcription and—while paused—allow me to scroll back up through the current transcript and make corrections before continuing the transcription. Otherwise, a great app!
