Or something of that nature I tried with and with out wifi . But never got a chance to even use its ### 2/5 — Nuance server not found *2019-12-09, version 4.1* L’application ne fonctionne pas, il ne trouve aucun serveur ### 3/5 — Potential to be good *2019-01-09, version 4.1* It works well for short dictation, however if you are trying to dictate something slightly longer and the screen goes into sleep mode it’s all lost. Also there is no way to save notes. Sort those issues out and it would be fab. In the meantime I’m looking for alternatives ### 2/5 — Tried it; don’t care for it. *2018-07-21* Dictates OK but I can’t see what I’m dictating and that’s a major drawback in my opinion; wish I could do better. ### 1/5 — Server Issue *2017-05-12* The speach server keeps failing. ### 1/5 — My rubbish Secretary app *2017-03-28, version 4.0* This is a really rubbish app, waste of time and energy. Don't even download it. It does not work, period! And it keeps prompting to buy other apps. You are better off dictating using your microphone on your mobile. ### 4/5 — Better than the others *2017-02-17* This app is too good. I found it more reliable than others. ### 3/5 — About as good as Siri *2016-12-07* Not bad for a free, outdated app. Better than others and about on par with Siri. Not super accurate, but enough that I can work with it for the short audio dictations I have. ### 4/5 — Needs work *2016-11-30* This is a fairly accurate speech to text app. Very good for being free. My biggest problem is that after I speak, and look at my text, if I go back and start talking again, when I go to read the text, it crashes. You have to restart the app after every time you look at the text. However I'd much rather speak 2000 word essays than type them. ### 1/5 — Not good *2016-10-26* This app is waste of time and money crashes every 15 sec it's only good for couple of sentences. Not happy it all. ### 1/5 — No emails *2016-09-15, version 4.0* So far I'll give it a 1 star just because I'm sending my self my written messages and never receive the emails! Very frustrating! This goes for all Nuance programs. ### 1/5 — RUBISH *2016-02-26, version 4.0* I cant even open the app , it seems like it may be good but whenever i try to go onto it it throws me off to my home screen.Dont get is a complete waste of time. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work! *2016-02-18, version 4.0* No good app. Doesnt return speach. Even crashes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pure garbage. Does not write in text. Want a refund!! *2022-11-18* Garbage. Always says failed to connect. Garbage! ### 1/5 — Trash *2022-02-23* Tried over and over but it never worked. Always got a message that said “failed to connect to speech server”. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2020-05-28, version 4.1* Won’t connect to server. Completely non-functional. ### 1/5 — Failed to connect to server error *2019-10-14, version 4.1* Doesn't work failed to connect to server error...I tried to make sure all the permissions were available but made no difference. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — 1- *2019-10-09, version 4.1* The app said it ‘failed to connect to speech serve’ so I give no stars. ### 1/5 — Dreadful *2019-09-20, version 4.1* Keep getting message, unable to connect to speech server. Paid for pro version, write to developer...no answer. ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-05-26, version 4.1* Sucks. As soon as try to use it errors and won't record ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-05-14* Currently not working! Was excited when I used it last week. Now that I really need it, it doesn’t work! Please fix ### 1/5 — Mr Bayon *2018-10-04, version 4.1* You are not able to save anything on the app, therefore I have lost lots of work and have had to start again. Very annoying. ### 1/5 — Really not useful *2018-08-02* Unfortunately it will not record more than half 30 seconds at a time. Also I was charged twice, and even though I sent an email I never received a response or was credited for the second charge. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Personal Secretary *2019-05-13* Great App, I lov it ### 5/5 — The bus stop in the world *2019-04-24* The best thing in the world I love my personal secretary ### 5/5 — It works. *2019-03-02, version 4.1* It takes your dictation in short paragraphs and converts it to text pretty well. As with all VR you have to go back and edit. Great if you have limitations within keyboarding. ### 5/5 — Works quite well *2018-07-06, version 4.1* The occasional word will come out wrong, but that’s to be expected, overall it does a good job and I’m quite happy with it 👍 ### 5/5 — Smart App *2018-01-23, version 4.1* This is really very smart app, it just help me writing 4500 words in no time,Thank you guys keep it up. ### 5/5 — The best one *2017-08-17* Still the best one and I have yet to find one even close ### 5/5 — My Secretary *2017-07-15, version 4.1* Is brilliantly awesome thank you ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-09-02* I wanted to write about friends that I have just lost, and it was impossible. Your app helped me get the words out and for that I'm grateful. Thank you. ### 5/5 — better than any other voice app *2015-07-18* all I can say is WOW!!!!! ### 5/5 — So great *2015-04-30* The use of this has helped me through my work schedule schoolwork and everything in between. I will be holding on to this one. 👍👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
