User reviews

Privacy is the priority

It works, records, transcribes. Simple.
It crashes during transcription, restarting the app fixes it.
It stops recording when a call come in, that’s annoying where other apps will pause and restart.
It’s simple, secure, has some bugs to be fixed… and features to add.

Response from developer

Happy to hear that the app is working out for you. I am putting the “pause on call” feature on the list to get this fixed. Thank you for noticing. If you have any other bugs or features that you would like to see, please email to support@transcribe.best Always happy to hear feedback and would love to hear what you are missing.

Great app and great developer

The developer was incredibly helpful when I encountered a slight issue with the app. I use this app for work, and finding a decent Welsh transcription app for iOS is difficult - but this does the job perfectly.

Great set of features

Really like this app. I have spent a few hours researching the available Whisper AI-based speech-to-text iOS apps, but none offer the same range of features as Transcribe Best, for such a low one-off price. You can watch highlighted transcription text as you play back the recording, you can listen to the recording while coming out of the app, and also record while coming out of the app or even the screen locking. You can select which Whisper model to use. And it's all done offline on your phone, leading to no privacy concerns with online cloud storage. I'd encourage other users not to be put off by the Apple Store rating or small number of reviews.

Top app - very accurate

Overall good I’m happy with the transcriptions from English. The Transcribing of other languages needs big improvement and is not so accurate. However when it comes to transcribing English audio the app does a great job and is very accurate!

Solid with caveats

I actually really like it. I used it to record and transcribe a Google Meet meeting. I went back to the meeting recording and used Google's closed caption function to check how close the app got. It's fairly accurate except with those with heavier accents from India while speaking English. Google does a fantastic job recognizing accents through their CC but they've got significantly more data points for their model.
