Can only import… this is not how the app was described in the App Store

Does not do what they claim that does… it states that you can transcribe all videos, such as local web videos etc but you can’t you can only import or copy and paste a URL you can’t hit record why something is playing or anything such as that and now I’m out six bucks that I would love to have back because it wasn’t worth it!

Exactly Right

I was looking for a quick way to get transcripts from YouTube videos for research and writing captions. This app delivers exactly what it promises. The app is simple to use, and the accuracy of the transcription is impressive.

Time Reclaimed

This app is saving me a huge amount of time! I used to spend hours rewatching lecture videos to take notes. Now, I just upload the video and get a perfect transcript in seconds.

AI summary

The audio transcription is accurate and fast, saving me hours per video. The AI summary also helps me quickly pinpoint the key moments to highlight in the description.

Summary feature

I've been using this app for our internal meetings, and it provides a clear record of everything discussed, and the summary feature is perfect for distilling action items. I'm now more efficient than ever.

Love this app!!

I’ve tried several other apps and was disappointed because there were way too many hiccups, but this app saved the day for me! Great transcription!

Best ever

As a YouTuber, writing descriptions and creating closed captions used to be my least favorite and most time-consuming task, but this app automates it perfectly. Wouldn't use anything else.

Scam

Took my $6 and won’t transcribe my videos! Can’t upload a single one! Don’t get this app and definitely do not spend money on it.

Trash App

Just paid $5.99 for the weekly usage. Starts off right away not being able to upload my videos, which is the whole reason I wanted this. I can see many other reviews mentioning the same thing. False advertising app, DO NOT USE!

I simply cannot get this app to upload more the four initial videos. It’s stopped. I’m stuck with the 50$ charge. And no help.

False Advertising/ Not Free

It should just be called a scam when you make the app free just to get clicks and downloads but then the app does not work at all, not even a trial mode, until you pay $50. Literal fraud. Don’t waste people’s time and data and charge the $50 for the download upfront.

Response from developer

Hi Stas0k, thanks for your feedback! We’d like to clarify that we never state the app is entirely free. Every user receives 3 free transcriptions to try the app and see if it works well for their needs. After that, if you’re satisfied, you can choose to subscribe. Also, we don’t only have a $50 plan — there are different subscription options available to fit different needs and budgets. We hope you’ll give the app another try and take advantage of the free transcriptions before making a decision.

No complaints on my end. Even with larger videos the text ready in under a minute. The interface is clean, the results are reliable, and the summary feature is genius.

Journalist favorite

As a journalist, I need precise transcripts fast. This app handles interviews flawlessly, even with multiple speakers. And I like that it lets me export the text third party apps.
