### 3/5 — Troubleshooting transcript issues

*2026-01-22, version 2.4*

Troubleshooting transcript issues is next to impossible!

### 1/5 — Erased Everything!!

*2026-01-18, version 2.4*

I really liked this app. It was easy to use and free. The cost to transcribe was reasonable. Then when I offloaded it (not deleted) then tried to get it again, ALL my recordings were not retrieved and permanently deleted.😟Messed me up

### 5/5 — Just amazing for me as a writer

*2025-08-13, version 2.4*

I do my best speaking my thoughts not typing.  This is a God send.  For real.  Amen.

### 1/5 — Don’t fall for it

*2025-06-18, version 2.4*

Claims to have a free trial when you want to transcribe it ask you to pay and put a credit card detailing no thanks. There are other firms that they’re giving proper free trials to transcribe shouldn’t be on iTunes.

### 5/5 — Campeón

*2025-03-06, version 2.4*

Renacido en Cristo

### 1/5 — N’importe quoi

*2024-07-23*

Vous êtes malade ou quoi !?

### 1/5 — Eh

*2024-06-21, version 2.4*

Transcription is fair at best. Dialogue bounces back and forth apparently trying to go back and correct or something which means if you are using this in a live meeting etc. You have to delete and start again every couple minutes. Not great.

### 1/5 — Limited

*2024-05-27, version 2.4*

Can’t upload audio files to the app for transcription. Can only record live.

### 2/5 — Unable to import on app

*2023-11-22, version 2.4*

The website service is fine, but the fact that we can’t import audio from our phones into the app makes the app kind of useless.

### 1/5 — Temi

*2023-07-07, version 2.4*

Pure trash
