Not Intuitive

Why can’t text just easily be exported to the clipboard or voice be easily downloaded? Subpar…

Doesn’t produce mp3, cuts off before recording ends

Really unimpressed. I was using this to provide audio for my clients. However, the format is not the more useful mp3 but mp4a. Some “updates” have also resulted in the recording stopping before I’m done, arbitrarily.

Hello, Thanks for your feedback. We are shipping more and more updates to add new functionality and improvements. We have not encountered the arbitrary stop and will definitely look into it immediately. Regarding the m4a format, we chose it because it typically offers high-quality audio with efficient compression. Furthermore it's Apple standard so it works well with the eco-system. However I will add MP3 export to the list of potential features to add with one of the upcoming updates.

Future

Will upgrade if works. Needed for work tomorrow Fun with HR

Super Spracherkennung

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der App. Bis auf einzelne Ausnahmen klappt die Spracherkennung super. Text kann in der App manuell nachgearbeitet werden. Auch der Export ist kein Problem.

Wonderfull

I couldn’t believe that such strong app is available. I’ve been using it for a long time and its great.

Démarre en chinois

Au premier lancement l’interface est entièrement en chinois. Inutilisable.

Bonjour, l'application affichera la langue dans laquelle la région de votre téléphone et la langue sont définies.

Awful

The UX is terrible. The recording cut off when my phone went to sleep and there is no way that I can find to stop that. Also you don’t see how long your recording is or a running time so you can’t make notes of time stamps for places to go back to. I have no idea who this is intended for but it’s not journalists.

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. It has been a long time but the app has grown since then and I just noticed that all your concerns have been addressed and more features like summarization, translation, action items have been added. The app also has increased in accuracy and we have a few journalists who love the app, potentially you could be one of them. In case you come back in let me know I'd be grateful to tailor the app to further meet your needs. - Ronan

Amaaaaazing!!

The automatic punctuation is great!!!! And it supports many languages, including Spanish and Italian, both of which I mention because I will need it for those. I went for the $6.99/year subscription, which is super freaking cheap.

Definitely would love if there were a feature that detected each word and let you click a word to navigate to where it was in the recording.

Amazing

The app is amazing. I’ve been trying to find some to transcribe by voice recorder and this has been the simplest item to use. It’s also not too expensive. They have a couple weird bugs that makes me restart the app but besides that, I’m happy with it

Pessima

Le funzionalità per la quale si propone di essere scaricata, sono a pagamento!! Rimane solo un registratore vocale che ho già nel telefono

Why does my dictation need to be sent to Apple?

I feel that understand why my dictation needs to be sent to Apple? Why do they need to know my thoughts, what I write?

Simply another example of what appears to be on the surface or useful app hi Jack to become a marketing tool.

Many other ways of dictating directly into technology today. I’ll stick with those.

Hello, None of the data gets sent to Apple. App runs 100% on device, you could run it in airplane mode at all times and it will still work. This is also easily confirmable by network sniffing tools. The reason you get the pop-up is because the app does use Apple speech framework and opts out of the network since Apple allows that. I know the prompt can be confusing and would wish that Apple clarifies it in one of their future updates. Best, Ronan

Deutsch unbrauchbar

Funktioniert und für englischen Text und selbst da nicht wirklich gut. Das eigentlich gute erkannte transcript word dann nachträglich nochmal in nonsense verändert.

Really annoying

The app might be perfect, but as the app asks penetrant to buy the pro version I cant really test it. I really don't understand such developer. The app seems only to work proper in English. The upload from other apps seems only possible in the pro version. The buttons are to close to each other, chance to press the wrong one is high.

Promising. No amplitude graph. Always plays after recording.

When you stop the recording it automatically plays the recording, which makes it super annoying to use around people.

Also there is no amplitude graph so navigating a long recording is difficult.

Fix these two things and maybe worth paying for.

Great interface but lacks accuracy

Unfortunately, the speech to text is not terribly accurate. There's plenty else to like - the interface is better than other apps in it's class and it's easy to use. I really like the text file format. Accuracy is king though...

nice

good accuracy, some mistakes here and there and need to talk slower than normal to fully understand what I’m saying but apart from that it works like a charm!

Won’t refund me

App did not work for transcription and couldn’t connect to my Dropbox. I requested a refund after 20 minutes and they would not issue it. Beware of this developer.
