So let's see how it does the first thing I noticed is that the AI will second-guess itself and erase some of the things that it already wrote which were correct but I did see racing stuff it's not listening to what's going on and just blinks out huge blocks of text . If it's me dictating then I could pause when I see that it's needed to catch up but if it's a recorded conversation there's no way it's going to stop to let the AI catch up and as I'm writing as it as I'm speaking as I see it rewriting stuff that's already captured as text over and over again like three lines prior to this. Conversation that I had with the other person that I recorded was not even picked up. Granted it was a little more soft book and then my words but it should've been able to pick up some sound. In real time conversation transcribing I had said I'm doing this with you She's a little slow right now. The AI recorded I'm doing this with you so bye right now. As you can see it a little different. I have to give the app low stars for its accuracy and the speed of the AI In keeping up with a normal conversation. It's a good start though. ### 3/5 — Can’t get it to transcribe video playing on same device *2022-06-17* I wanted this to transcribe videos I’m playing on the same device. I turn on the microphone and nothing! I don’t understand. It picks up my voice, but it doesn’t pick up audio from the speaker. I’m frustrated. It should pick up the speaker audio too. Help! ### 2/5 — Cannot see the transcripts *2022-04-29* I’m getting a black screen and does not show anything when I tried to talk. Can you fix it? **Developer response:** Please check our updated app. ### 3/5 — Not all languages. No Punjabi dictation *2022-03-25* Although in the description of the app it is written that this app can type all languages but, it does not type all languages; particularly my native language Punjabi. Hindi I have tried Hindi Accuracy is good 90% but there is no provision for starting a new line or new paragraph while dictating in Hindi. ### 2/5 — Speech to Text App (Purely a personal opinion) *2021-09-14, version 1.5* You would have thought that in the year 2021 that a decent easy to use accurate speech to text Application would be readily in the marketplace. Unfortunately as I have found out especially. using this particular application one doe’s not exist unless you are willing to pay a fortune for it, which is a shame because with some tweaks here and there this could be a really good app. Good Luck. ### 1/5 — Does not convert speech to text *2021-07-23* I opened the app and hit record. That should be all I need to do for it to start converting speech to text. It did not work. Deleting the app. No time to fool around trying to get it to work. ### 1/5 — Literally does nothing *2021-05-13* Downloaded opened it, clicked the microphone button and it signals that it’s doing something, doesn’t transcribe anything when I talk. Literally useless ### 1/5 — App rating downgraded. Useless *2021-03-14* Meh. Can we have Nigerian English? Maybe that will improve its usefulness. Thanks ### 1/5 — Can’t edit after saving. *2020-12-07* Still too many bugs, I can’t even see here what is being typed! ### 1/5 — MY WORK!? It’s all gone!? *2020-12-05* Hvvbb ### 1/5 — It glitches and you lose everything *2020-09-25* It’s great at saving time. On a scale from 1 to 10 in accuracy I’ll give it an 7-8 so certainly double check right after you finish speaking otherwise you won’t understand later what you we’re saying. The biggest problem is that it randomly quits or exits on its own and you loose everything it wrote for you. So instead of saving time now you have to do it all again. And you can not save it as you go because when you save it it closes the file and better ad a title and you have to start a new one. Until they fix this bug this app doesn’t work. Is not worth it. When they do then it’s certainly will be worth it. ### 1/5 — The worst app *2020-07-30* Not working properly in Hindi language ### 1/5 — Speech to text *2020-07-23, version 1.3* Worked once and although mic lights up no text appears ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-12-27* After update given by you not working yet . **Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience, we have resolved the underlying issue please download the latest update. Thanks ### 1/5 — Very Bad *2024-01-24, version 1.7* I open the app often installing it and it crashed for 3 to 4 times, and then again when I started using it, it is showing me that showing me adverts really very sad and I don’t know why this was in the App Store and why I have downloaded it and immediately have removed and came back and left a review review so that nobody can waste any more time ### 1/5 — Worst *2023-12-11* Only ads don’t use worst app ### 1/5 — Useless, not recommended *2022-12-18, version 1.6* Doesn’t work! ### 1/5 — Black notepad can’t see words typed on iPhone *2022-09-02* Black notepad can’t see words typed on iPhone ### 1/5 — M *2022-08-17, version 1.6* There is not my Pakistani language ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-08-09, version 1.6* Just don’t waste your time on this app- total failure ### 1/5 — not even can call it an app ! *2022-04-24, version 1.6* good for nothing ! ### 1/5 — Speak to write *2022-03-02, version 1.6* I recorded the message but no words was written ### 1/5 — Worst app and time wasting *2022-01-04* It does not work and cater my needs. I don’t find this app useful. So don’t use the app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The very best speech to text application *2024-02-27* Dear Muhammed Really Kudos to yu. I have been using dragon naturally speaking from scansoft for the lost twenty years by purchibg different versions. Yur App really beats it. May i know this fee of Rs 179 for removal of adds is one time? Yu may also add few more features like the commands “ new line, new paragraph “ etc. any way may Allah always bless yu ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-07-16, version 1.6* I like it. ### 5/5 — The best voice to text app. *2022-05-18* Islam, kudos to you for developing such an adorable app. The best thing about the app is - easy of use, the accuracy with which it outputs text. Best of all, I can’t believe it’s for free.. I’ve tried other apps, but they have to be purchased, but definitely nowhere close to your app in terms of the quality. Thank you sir. My search ended here. In case you want to improve the app further, I was wondering if you can add more features like starting a paragraph and ending the paragraph, numbering the sentences etc.. ### 5/5 — Unbelievably Awesome *2022-01-02* I rarely write reviews but I had to for this app. I’m a physician and I needed something to jot down quick notes after each home visit that I could later add to my patient notes. There are apps and services out there, however, the cost was beyond what I wanted to pay. The closest was the IOS app by Dragon but even that is $15/month. I decided to try this app. I knew this was a non-medical app so my expectations of it capturing medical words was going to be questionable but I could always correct it once I edited the note. Well I was VERY SURPRISED how accurate it transcribed not only my words but the medical terms. Now, it wasn’t perfect but MUCH better than I expected. I also like that I can save the note to my Google Drive folder and then download it into a note in the future. Thank you so much for helping me find a solution to my issue without breaking the bank. Please reach out if you’d like someone to beta test any future iterations of this app. ### 5/5 — Works well *2021-01-10, version 1.3* This seems so far to work as it should for speech to txt 5 stars ### 5/5 — No time limit *2020-12-15* Other apps that do this well allow voice recognition four a certain number of minutes, and then it abruptly will stop. This app does not appear to do that. ### 5/5 — Appsolutly fantastic *2020-03-08, version 1.3* This is very good for when you are on holiday or vacation and no one speaks your language. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2019-11-08, version 1.3* Excellent App ### 5/5 — Super *2019-10-05* All getting fine... if there’s Malayalam... it will be a dedicated one...! ### 4/5 — Very Good But *2020-02-28, version 1.3* I wanted to do everything by speech. Having to type the Title defeats the point of this really good app. Also, if I’d stayed with the app, I would have paid to remove the ads but couldn’t see the way to do this. Very sadly I must search for an app that uses speech for all stages. If I am wrong here, I apologise but I tried and failed to get what I wanted.
