### 4/5 — It Does Exactly What It Says

*2025-03-28, version 1.1*

I Used It For A Meeting today and it got Everything i needed and plays if all back. Would give it 5 stars just as one of the other reviewer mentioned some words punctuation is a bit off. other then that Recommend it

### 1/5 — ???  Not understand the point!

*2024-02-21, version 1.1*

So it records exactly what you say and saves it as a voice note.  You can share it, delete etc.  But not understand the point in the app.  Every phone comes with voice notes so you can do this anyway so why bother with this app?   Am I missing something??

### 1/5 — Didn’t even work

*2023-12-04, version 1.1*

Tried to use it but what I was speaking didn’t actually transfer into speech and was very inaccurate

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2023-09-27, version 1.1*

No way of doing anything with the text. If you like watching text appearing when you talk - get it.

### 3/5 — Works as described, BUT very limited, HOWEVER…

*2023-09-20, version 1.1*

It copies your voice, has a few issues with punctuation, but otherwise it’s as described, as another reviewer noted there’s no copy and paste functionality, however if one chooses to take a screenshot of the message that’s just been transcribed from voice to text, then one can simply grab the text from the now existing photo to copy & paste…voilà!

### 5/5 — You can share recordings and transcripts

*2021-12-16, version 1.1*

To K in Bristol, you can share recordings and transcripts jus swipe left on the recording you want to share and select the share option. Works a treat

### 2/5 — Can’t transfer text

*2021-09-24, version 1.1*

This app records speech and presents the results beautifully.  However, there is no way to then paste the transcription anywhere — or if there is, there is no help for the app at all.  There are no settings or menus to work with, so for me it was useless.  If they get it up and running properly then the voice recognition part works very well.

### 5/5 — Thanks😍

*2021-07-24*

Simple, fast, and useful 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ without any payment 😍😍

### 1/5 — No editing

*2021-04-26*

Did not like as I could not edit to correct the many mistakes this app transcribed.

### 2/5 — Is there a copy to clipboard?

*2021-03-08, version 1.1*

I think this is an excellent speech to text app, except I am not seeing how you can copy the text, save the text file for use in my other writing tools... 5 stars if it can do that! It is not obvious how to share the text in an email either.
