It also will not share the document when you want it to. ### 3/5 — 不支持中文显示 *2022-11-01* 不支持中文显示，看的一头雾水。希望尽快支持中文吧 ### 3/5 — Transcription Issue *2021-11-09* The app does a pretty good job expect 3 issues that I have noticed so far 1. It can’t keep up with the person speaking, skips words 2. It tries to correct the sentence which causes an issue particularly when someone says a sentence and try to explain a different way. In other words it tries to correct what it assume may be right thing to say 3. While transcribing from speech to text, half of the text is at the bottom, half is on top, and in the middle of it, it stops showing what it’s transcribing , eventually once you stop, everything show up **Developer response:** Hello, With time it will adapt to your speaking style and speed, AI keep learning , so please use this app frequently for your dictation and you will see fantastic results. Also , we have included a Video showing how to use this application, please try , hope that will help as well.

Thanks VoiceOverMaker Team ### 3/5 — It works quite well but needs improvement *2021-05-12* Hi all review reader. I’ve found this app very handy when using like speech-to-text from my recording on laptop. However the UX is a bit clunky and it takes a while to understand how it works. This app needs a lot of improvement to be great. I am happy to share my opinion with the author to make it better. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for the feedback , we have made changes in the App. please download latest version and let us know , Thanks ### 3/5 — Traitement : ok , interface utilisateur : à refaire ! *2021-02-19* Sur le fond, La reconnaissance vocale marche bien et l’on peut gérer une conversion d’un flux de parol long. C’est tout à fait ce que j’attends de ce genre de logiciel sur la partie traitement. En revanche l’interface utilisateur est à améliorer. C’est dommage, car le produit est plutôt bon ! Il faut soigner aussi la forme. Je travaille avec des patients mal entendant et sourds. Le support écrit de ma parole est important et j’utilise votre solution. **Developer response:** Hello , thanks for your feedback, could you please let us know what changes would you like to see , so our team can work on the same , thanks MobiApp team ### 5/5 — Cool App! *2020-07-17, version 5.25* This is very convenient app. I havent a lot of free time but always have need to write messagesand different texts. In this app very good speech recognition. So for me this is perfect while driving the car. And thanks to this app I have more free time for my family. ### 5/5 — Better than basic ones *2020-07-17* I need to write a lot of things down so an app like this is a must have for me. It says about up to one hour dictating but I’ve tried 40 minutes so far and it’s been really accurate. ⠀ It has a lot of languages but more exciting even emojis, commas and so on, that’s amazing! ### 1/5 — Is not compatible with iMessage *2020-07-16, version 5.25* Have sent 10 emails requesting tech help. The last message received advised me to request a refund. However, no place to make such a request. I just want my payment returned due to incompatibility with iMessage. ### 5/5 — Saves time. *2019-12-11* I think this app is great. Thank you for creating this app...and have recommended this app to others. Easy to use. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, Glad you liked it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-01-06, version 10.0.5* I wanted to use this for voice to text, but it stops after 2 sentences and if you want to share the text so you can use it, it makes you buy premium. ### 1/5 — Refund please *2025-03-24, version 10.0.5* BOUGHT IT BY MISTAKE PLEASE ### 1/5 — . . The test voice to text made a lot more mistakes than my iPhone. Sorry but this app is junk, *2024-05-20* Warning , you pay and it only works once. When you try to use it again, It demands payment. Very corrupt. Tried the email link to resolve this and nothing happened. Also , the one use I got for my money did not work as well as iPhone voice to text, lots of mistakes. Wanted it for meetings, would not work so well. Sorry but this a bad stuff. **Developer response:** We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced.

I was hoping to record in Spanish but the app remains stuck in English. What a waste! ### 1/5 — Fatalna *2021-12-16, version 6.78* Pomimo opłacenia subskrypcji aplikacja zawiesza się. Nie da się wybrać języka dyktowane notatki (wczoraj jeszcze było to możliwe). Nie działa klawisz „wstecz”. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t get it to work *2021-04-28* I bought this yesterday and uninstalled it the same day. I got it to type, in fact I recorded the same thing 3 times but every time I went back to find my notes it hadn’t saved. I checked the tutorial and I didn’t have the same images on my iPhone that was on the tutorial. Shame as the web recommended it for iPhone and its the only one I could find with a once only fee. **Developer response:** Hello furfix, Please send an email to our team , mobiappsolutionz@gmail.com and our team will be glad to assist you. Few things, once you have dictated your text, you can press the save button as without your permission it won't save any recording, so you have to explicitly give permission for the same. We hope this helps ### 1/5 — Nie polecam *2021-01-11, version 5.28* Nie wykrywa tekstu na nagraniu, dodatkowo nie można nic przesłać do tłumaczenia. Nie polecam. ### 1/5 — Arnaque !!!! *2020-11-05* Horrible **Developer response:** What is the issue that you have faced ? , please email us mobiappsolutionz@gmail.com and our team will help you! ### 1/5 — Remboursement ? *2020-09-16* Très déçu du visuel. Je pensais que l’image de présentation était juste déformée, mais en fait c’est bien réel. Je ne comprends comment on peut mettre une application en ligne sur iOS avec un format qui ne corresponde pas à un iPhone. Pour la fonctionnalité je vous avoue ne pas avoir essayé tellement le visuel m’a repoussé. **Developer response:** MattMatt66, To achieve best results with Speech Recognition, you have to position your Microphone properly, we have mentioned about best Speech Recognition practices on our websites , In case your require more assistance you could email our team at mobiappsolutionz@gmail.com , thanks ### 1/5 — No se puede establecer el idioma español como predeterminado *2020-08-16, version 5.25* No se puede establecer el idioma español como predeterminado No funciona ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Add Telugu Language *2023-04-07* Please add Telugu Language It's very useful for lac of users around the world Please add Telugu Language ### 5/5 — SO COOL! *2022-09-06* The functionality & formats within the app is impeccable! It really looks to be an awesome application for creative writing projects, monologues, taking notes, etc. Sometimes the dialogues are a little a-skewed with at times some non-sensical key-in's, however with that said.. it adds another layer of creatively queued interactions to spark ideas & can give a spin to your writing process as a whole. Top-Notch guys! -Matt **Developer response:** Thanks for feedback , Glad you liked it! ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2022-08-09, version 7.85* This is amazing this has helped me a lot to avoid typing on phone. This saves my screen time and makes me more efficient. ### 5/5 — Where is the video *2022-05-02* I have had this app for a long time but not used it on consistent basis. It is good, but I forget how to use certain components (new paragraph ). You mentioned a video which I have been unable to find. Is it still available? **Developer response:** Dear User, Thanks for the feedback Please update , we have added tutorial video in latest release Thanks ### 5/5 — amazing app *2022-01-10* Amazing dictation app , great accuracy and i can create notes easily , convert it to PDF , great for meetings, interviews, daily notes. Highly recommendded. ### 5/5 — Excellent app. Easy to edit mis-transcribed words *2021-07-31* Accurate transcription when it's just me dictating. More mis-transcriptions when more people are talking. Super easy to edit text. Developer responded and said the way to do this is to tap and hold over text I want to change, then tap on pencil icon. We got this app when it was brand new. LOVE IT. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it ! ### 5/5 — Does the job and does it well *2021-01-16* After a decade long saga with Dragon, this particular version of dictation tech does everything I want it to do both quickly and with few mistakes. Too bad I had to scroll this far down the App Store to find it again, essentially making this a hidden gem. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. ### 5/5 — USEFUL! *2020-07-21* This app is very useful and easy to work with. Transforming voice to the text became the everyday task for me in the university and now I am able to entrust it to this application. All of the text is transformed very fast and correct. I like this application and I am looking forward to new updates and new features. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it! ### 5/5 — no more writing *2020-07-19* This is a very useful app for me, I record lectures in the university and get the writing textbooks from the record using this application. It is very needed for me to have all lectures in a written form and with the help of this application, it is very easy for me not to waste time on writing but to have my book using a couple of clicks. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it ! ### 5/5 — Works great *2020-07-18, version 5.25* It recognizes both my natural voice and various recordings, and even phone calls. This is very important to me and helps me not to miss any key information. Very useful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
