Best Mac App for Transciptions
I use Transcriptionist daily, to transcribe podcasts, YouTube videos, and any audio content. I love being able to choose from various “brains” to balance speed and accuracy, export formats include everything you could need, and it’s on iPhone and iPad as well!
Unclear how to export
My goal is transcribe audio from meetings with clients into text, then to export said text to private AI to create a summary of the meeting. I love that transcription is handled privately on device, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to export the text. The user guide provides instructions to use the “Export” option in the file menu, which does not seem to exist, nor can I find the option anywhere else. I’ll probably reach out to the developer for support, but it shouldn’t be this hard. Using on an M5 iPad Pro.

Great but..
It’s great at what it does but I think it should have a one time purchase instead considering it does the same job and will always do the same task in the future. Big Ups to making it so apple like tho!
Not Understanding the High Ratings
Just downloaded and subscribed to this app and right away it repeatedly crashes every time I use the search and replace feature. And why am I having to use the search and replace feature? Because in practically every other sentence there are words that were transcribed incorrectly. The errors are so bad it’s difficult figuring out what was actually said to correct in the transcription. Does it do more than the transcribe feature in Apple Notes and Voice Memos apps? Yes. It will combine multiple separately-recorded audio tracks (say, from a Zoom recording), and include time stamps, allow you to edit/correct it’s errors, change the names it assigns to participants of the audio, etc. - which are all things I need - but with the errors and search/replace (for those errors) crashes make me question whether even the relatively low subscription fee is worth it.

Awesome
Works on device (resource intensive, that’s normal). Better privacy. For (Canadian) French, it works better with the Large brain than others that do have the Canadian option, as opposed to this one.
