## What is Offline Dictation?

You can transcribe safely and securely even in places where radio waves do not reach or in meetings with important content!

A network is essential for general transcription apps because it is linked with cloud services,
This application does not require a network because the processing is completed within the iPhone.

Therefore, you can comfortably transcribe without any transcription failure or delay due to network connection failure.
In addition, you can use it safely at work without being involved in information leakage on the cloud service side.
(If you are worried, you can use it by blocking communication by switching to airplane mode etc.)
Also, the function to save data is not added.
(There is only a copy function to the clipboard)

### 3/5 — 同じ言葉が2度ずつ表示される

*2024-05-07, version 1.0.9*

とてもシンプルで使いやすいですが、同じ言葉が2度ずつ認識されてしまいます。また、画面をライトモードにしていると「Time」「scroll」「real time」の文字が見えずスイッチの意味がわかりません。ぜひアップデートしてください

### 4/5 — Quite good, basic.

*2024-04-20*

This is quite a basic and yet effective app.
It understands me quite well even though I have an Australian accent and I haven't done any training on it.
You do still need to speak out punctuation marks, such as the ones that you see in the sentence.
The interface could use some work. 
Overall I quite like it.
This review was dictated from within the app.

### 4/5 — 韓国語に対応希望

*2023-07-13, version 1.0.8*

仕事柄韓国語を聞き学ぶ必要があるので、ぜひ韓国語にも対応してください。日本語と文法がそっくりなので、そこまで難しくないかと。期待して待っています。

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい

*2022-05-24, version 1.0.8*

オフラインで文字起こしするアプリを発見して小躍りしました。 素晴らしいですね。 ただ、高音の女性の声は弱いようです。 音量は高い方が認識するようです。早口はだめなようです。
