I had no idea until quite a bit later. It saved that first part which is great, but... if I hadn’t also been taking notes? I would have been negative stars unhappy. I like the idea of this. I really liked the fact that it could identify different speakers. But if I can’t trust it to keep running or let me know that it stopped so I can quickly restart it? It’s not worth my money. I am irritated that I never would have discovered that in the sample 15 minutes. ### 1/5 — Not Free *2019-12-04, version 2.0* Free to download but charges after 15 min. ### 2/5 — Not what I’m looking for. Otherwise? Don’t know. *2019-08-11, version 1.7* I’m looking for an app to listen to and transcribe from audio around me, TV or Radio. I am hearing impaired. I also like foreign films I need to translate them English unto English via text or audio / headphones ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2019-08-09, version 1.7* For an interview I paid $2.99 for an hour. It cut out many times, and I am now missing a lot of the interview! Don’t waste your money! ### 1/5 — Garbage *2019-07-08, version 1.7* Just did not work at all. Made up words like “Llandudno” and “Walderslade”, which were nothing close. Couldn’t even figure out the sentences by context, nothing made sense. And they want you to pay for credit? ### 1/5 — Do not use *2019-03-16, version 1.4* Could not transcribe at all and just made up filler words embarrassing for the developers ### 1/5 — Did very poor in a transcription test I did lol... *2019-01-17, version 1.3* Pass ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-12-30, version 1.3* I’m totally amazed at the speed and accuracy of this app. ### 5/5 — Super useful. *2018-12-26, version 1.3* This app is really handy for transcribing meetings and dictating memos to myself. It lets you export to Evernote, mail and other apps. It saves me loads of time and money. ## Frequently asked questions about Transcribe Live ### What does Transcribe Live do?
