### 3/5 — Looks promising but..

*2025-06-27*

I discovered accidently the app through https://mindeon.com. I've been searching for a handy S2T for a long time so I bet on it and buy it just like that.
First test looked promising but :
- I can't suppress the files from the list which is probematic with file management ?
- I tried a 19mn file and it failed miserably. Looked for documentation but nowhere to be found. Screenshot shows "BBC Interview"-25 mn, letting me expect this should run OK.
Maybe doesn't work with an uploaded audiofile and only with native recordings ?

Can you give a quick feedback on this ? Many thanks.
I'll be gald to give 5stars !

### 1/5 — App funktioniert nicht

*2022-05-30*

App zeichnet nur auf mit schlechter Tonqualität. Von dem beschriebenen Transkript der Aufzeichnung ist nichts zu finden. Die Entwickler antworten mit lauter Ausreden und nichtssagenden Screenshots.

*2021-10-02*

Smarter Processing Pipeline
We re-engineered the way the app processes your audio. By cleaning and shaping the sound before transcribing it, our AI can now "hear" the words with much higher precision, leading to even more accurate transcripts.
