### 3/5 — Troubleshooting transcript issues

*2026-01-22, version 2.4*

Troubleshooting transcript issues is next to impossible!

### 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.

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2023-02-27, version 2.4*

Good app

### 1/5 — Created more work for me

*2023-01-12, version 2.4*

If you forget password there’s no option to reset on app

### 2/5 — Bit languange

*2022-12-03, version 2.4*

Its just record in eng language

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2022-09-04, version 2.4*

They make you think it’s free, then when you want to recover and edit the transcript,  they charge you big $$$

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money!

*2022-08-30, version 2.4*

Ridiculously bad

### 4/5 — Pretty Impressed

*2022-07-22, version 2.4*

I like the functionality of this app overall. Perhaps the one con is that I can’t record calls when I’m using a headset or Bluetooth headphones.

### 1/5 — Confusion over pricing

*2022-06-20, version 2.4*

All these transcription services are difficult to compare, so you need to have your wits about you. On the rev website the say that the cost is $0.1 per minute. But when you arrive in the app, the price is magically 2.5x more costly. Buyer beware.

### 1/5 — Don’t use.  System is locked until you fork out more money

*2022-06-06, version 2.4*

Shouldn’t have fallen for this.

### 1/5 — It didn’t say that there are in-app purchases  but there are

*2022-05-27, version 2.4*

I don’t appreciate this

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Temi

*2023-07-07, version 2.4*

Pure trash

### 1/5 — Can’t find any way to go back and make corrections or add or delete words

*2023-06-29, version 2.4*

Difficult to use….

### 1/5 — Needs to call out in app purchases

*2023-05-12, version 2.4*

In app purchases requirement not called out

### 1/5 — No no no

*2023-04-16, version 2.4*

Do not buy 
Does half work

### 1/5 — Not at all good.

*2023-03-01, version 2.4*

I could not get the transcript free. It also did not allow to pay.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 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.

### 5/5 — Campeón

*2025-03-06, version 2.4*

Renacido en Cristo

### 5/5 — Free

*2023-05-02, version 2.4*

Thank you for this app

### 5/5 — BEATS OTTER AI & DRAGON (Writer’s View)

*2023-03-30*

I have tried Temi via Safari, not via this app. The transcription service is by far an away the best I’ve tried. I use it to transcribe lengthy, dictated chapters of books and it does a fabulous job—more accurate than Dragon and more usable and reader (and private) than Otter. For now, I have to use my pre-existing Dragon, but if I can afford something else someday, I will use Temi. When I do use it, it saves me time and delivers much more readable, editable text with less effort and no bugs. I love it.

### 5/5 — This App is INCREDIBLE! It has changed my life.

*2023-02-21*

I am a Phd student with auditory processing issues. I have searched for months for a live transcription app that doesn't cost an arm or a leg. This app allows me to record what my proffesors are saying so that I can read instead of asking them to repeat what they just said. I looked EVERYWHERE for something like this. Do yourself a favor get this for live transcriptions. It has changed my life.

### 5/5 — With good sound it does what it advertises

*2022-12-09, version 2.4*

Yes it does

### 5/5 — Most accurate and easy to use

*2022-09-17, version 2.4*

I’ve tried a lot of transcription apps and this one works the best for me.

### 5/5 — Works great for my use..

*2022-04-13, version 2.4*

Mother in law is deaf and this is a great way to communicate so she doesn’t feel left out of the conversation.

### 5/5 — This app is a lifesaver!

*2022-03-30, version 2.4*

It’s worth every single penny. After years of having carpal tunnel, it’s refreshing to finally found an app that allows me to quickly turn meetings into meaningful notes.

### 5/5 — I use this for EVERYTHING!

*2022-02-07, version 2.4*

Temi has helped me conduct job interviews, capture meeting notes and even send audio messages to friends and family. It is super easy to use, and the transcripts are pretty accurate and cost-effective.

I have recommended it to a dozen people and everyone loves it!
