### 2/5 — Doesn’t work for longer audio

*2025-11-21*

Unfortunately, like most of the apps that use whisper for transcription, it gets stuck in a loop repeating the same line after a few minutes of transcribing. 😕 so it works if you’re only transcribing two or three minutes of audio, but anything longer doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2024-10-04*

Écran blanc au lancement

### 1/5 — Dosen't work at all

*2024-05-02*

Not working

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2024-03-31*

This is a not well working app. Very bad transcribtion even when there is a good audio file. Don´t buy it. It´s not worth it.

### 1/5 — С видео форматом приложение не работает

*2024-03-29*

В текст переводит только аудио, видео нет

### 1/5 — Anything remotely long doesn't work

*2024-03-07*

I had it do something two hours long and it just repeated the same phrase over and over again, like it had just stopped working

### 1/5 — problème de retranscription

*2024-02-05*

L'appli transcrit la plupart des dialogues audio en "musique". Le reste est incompréhensible. Il s'agit de la langue polonaise.
