### 5/5 — Unglaublich gut für Sprachnachrichten!

*2025-02-04*

Ich bin sooo begeistert von Speechy! Diese App ist ein echter Gamechanger, wenn es darum geht, Sprachnachrichten in Text umzuwandeln. Die Benutzeroberfläche ist intuitiv und die Spracherkennung ist äußerst präzise. Das hilft enorm in lauten Umgebungen.
Ein weiteres Plus ist die Möglichkeit, die transkribierten Nachrichten zu teilen. So kann ich wichtige Informationen schnell speichern oder mit anderen teilen, ohne sie erneut anhören zu müssen.
Die App läuft ganz reibungslos und die regelmäßigen Updates zeigen, dass der Entwickler engagiert ist. Ich kann Speechy jedem empfehlen, der oft Sprachnachrichten nutzt. Ein unverzichtbares Tool in meinem Alltag! Vielen Dank!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr wunderbares Feedback! Ich freue mich, dass Speechy dein Leben erleichtert. Ich freue mich, dass Speechy deine Investition wert ist.

### 5/5 — Top

*2024-10-29*

… die App ist absolut zu empfehlen. Der Einmalkauf ist absolut fair.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine wunderbare Bewertung! Ich freue mich, dass du Speechy als wertvoll empfindest und die fairen Preise schätzt. Deine Unterstützung bedeutet mir viel.

### 5/5 — Übersetzt Sprachnachrichten in Text

*2024-08-22*

Ich nutze Speechy erst seit ein paar Wochen aber möchte nicht mehr darauf verzichten. Mit der App kann ich lange Sprachnachricht ganz schnell in Text transkribieren lassen. Die Übersetzung funktioniert sehr gut. Falls doch ein Satz oder Wort nicht gut erkannt wird, weil der Sprecher undeutlich gesprochen hat, wird das zum einen markiert und zum anderen kann man zu dem Bereich scrollen und sich bei Bedarf diese exakte Passage anhören. Speechy erspart mir viel Zeit, da ich nicht alle Nachrichten anhören muss und ich auch direkt zu den interessanten Abschnitten springen kann, oder sie mit einem Blick überfliegen kann. Ich nutze sie bei den Messenger wie WhatsApp, Signal. 
Eine absolute Empfehlung.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine wunderbare Bewertung! Ich freue mich, dass Speechy ein wesentlicher Bestandteil deiner Routine geworden ist. Es ist großartig zu wissen, dass meine App dir Zeit spart, indem sie Sprachmeldungen effizient transkribiert. Ich bin froh, dass Speechy deine Erfahrung mit Apps wie WhatsApp und Signal verbessert. Ich schätze deine Empfehlung!

### 5/5 — Unterstützung für Threema wäre auch toll…

*2024-07-14*

🙏😊

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das Feedback.
An sich sollte Speechy auch mit Threema funktionieren. Ähnlich wie bei Signal sollte hier beim langen Halten auf eine Sprachnachricht ein Menü geöffnet werden, über das man die Nachricht mit Speechy teilen kann.

Gerne auch über speechy@jandamm.de Kontakt aufnehmen, dann kann ich besser Support geben.

Viele Grüße

### 5/5 — Praktische Hilfe

*2024-05-31*

Die App tut was sie verspricht. Ich finde sie sehr praktisch um schnell den Inhalt einer Sprachnachricht zu erfassen.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das Feedback!
Es freut mich, dass die App hilfreich dabei ist, Sprachnachrichten in Text umzuwandeln und dadurch den Inhalt der Sprachnachricht schnell verstehen zu können.
