Great Software, Great Headphones

Firstly, I didn’t realize that I could dictate while a lecture or at a meeting through whispering. This software allows you to whisper dictate. A seemingly miraculous feat.

I’m a professor and when my students were taking their exam I could quietly dictate by whispering using this app without disturbing them.

The app itself is stylish and very intuitive to use. I use the Mac one as well but I even wrote this review, whispering the whole time. Great software.
