### 2/5 — Cuts off

*2026-08-08, version 4.23.1*

Not really the most precise transcriber and it repeatedly cuts off the last segment of the transcribed work, no matter how long the video is. It then takes your credits when you have to redo the whole thing. I can’t recommend this.

### 2/5 — Geld bezahlt - und nach Wechsel des Rechners erst mühsam wiederbekommen

*2026-05-19*

Die App lief ganz gut. Aber ich musste den Rechner wechseln - und scheiterte über viele Stunden daran, die teuer bezahlte Transkriptions-Zeit (Jahresabo) auf dem neuen Mac abrufen zu können. Die “Hilfe” der App war mir keine Hilfe. Erst der Support verhalf mir zu meinen Daten und zig Euro Guthaben. Eine Premienapp mit derart hohen Preisen sollte m.E. für lebensnahe Probleme deutlich nutzerfreundlicher sein.

**Developer response:** Guten Tag, bitte schauen Sie in Ihr E-Mail-Postfach — Ihr Anliegen ist bereits gelöst. Sie haben sich an unseren Support gewandt, und wir haben Ihre Daten und das verbleibende Guthaben von Ihrem vorherigen Konto auf Ihren neuen Mac übertragen. (Falls Sie unsere Antwort nicht sehen, prüfen Sie bitte auch den Spam-Ordner.)
Starten Sie die App neu, dann sollte alles erscheinen.
Es tut mir leid für den Ärger in der Zwischenzeit. Falls etwas nicht korrekt angezeigt wird, antworten Sie bitte auf unsere E-Mail, und ich kümmere mich darum.

### 3/5 — Use to be a great app

*2026-04-14, version 4.22.2*

Not sure what happened but it started to become less accurate, takes forever to upload and took away hours I didn’t use and now says I’m at 0. This use to be my go to, and transcribed well especially adding speakers assigned to the transcriptions. I’m moving on to other apps, but hopefully they fix this for future users.

### 2/5 — Not accurate at all

*2026-01-29, version 4.21.9*

I wanted to use this to record a conversation between myself and a Spanish speaking lawyer and his assistant.  They were speaking Spanish to each other and me English.  The voice pickup was horrible (iPhone 13) and the translations were extremely spotty and didn’t make sense.  I would not use this for any conversations which are important.  Really disappointed.

### 3/5 — Uload error

*2026-01-27, version 4.21.9*

Dear Sir/Madam

I did buy transcribe pro 3 weeks ago.
After uploading voice file from apple voice memos I can not receive text translation.
I receive message saying that upload error.
There was no problem in demo.

### 2/5 — Issues uploads videos

*2025-12-18, version 4.21.8*

This app works when it wants to. It does not upload videos well.

### 4/5 — Inapp..

*2025-12-09, version 4.21.7*

Free half hour then 8@

### 3/5 — Pricing

*2025-12-06*

At the current USD to INR exchange rate, you are at around 6 dollars an hour. I’ll pass.

### 2/5 — 5,6 dolar la hora ?

*2025-11-15, version 4.21.6*

Enserio ?

Poor

### 1/5 — não tem suporte

*2026-03-21*

### 1/5 — This app is a scam WILL ROB YOU

*2026-03-11, version 4.22.0*

I paid $36 for 10 hours audio. They took it. No way to get it back. In app purchase. No help from Apple. None from developer. SCAM APP!! No “restore purchase” functionality,

### 1/5 — Imposible to go to PRO

No me permite comprar la versión Pro,  me dice que no puedo acceder a App Store

### 1/5 — Sucks!!

*2026-02-09, version 4.21.9*

Can’t even tell me what I already know this video says.

### 1/5 — Optional

*2025-12-31, version 4.21.9*

It was a decent decision from the app devs to include 30 minutes free trial, as the result was less than poor.

Unless used for English transcription, it is utterly useless.

### 5/5 — Top of the Line features

*2026-05-06, version 4.22.5*

I found the following features very helpful—
1. Transcribes m4a audio files very accurately and very fast!
2. It transcribes a 30min audio file in matter of minutes
3. It very accurately identifies different speakers & assigns speech text to them.
4. Allows me to update the name of the speakers within the app itself.
5. I can easily export the Transcript to an email recipient in many different formats such as plain text, MS WORD & PDF.
Works flawlessly!!

Hadn’t used this service in a while.  Once I upgraded it worked beautifully.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-11-27, version 4.21.7*

I like it a lot

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2025-11-14*

Te da 30min de áudio gratuito para transcrever a vontade, me ajudou muito no trabalho da faculdade. Ele transcrever perfeitamente, com horário de cada fala e com o nome da pessoa. Claro que, pra ter minutos ilimitados teria que pagar, mas pra mim, foi excelente! Óbvio, que o áudio também precisa estar limpo, mas não 100%, tá tudo bem se tiver um som escaralhado no fundo, ele transcreve certinho, virou minha paixão 😍😍😍
