My sister being annoying

OK, so she keeps doing that to try to annoy me, but the app is really good. I’ve been able to record my sister getting in trouble. I can literally record any time without anyone knowing.

Hehehe

So this is a really good app and to me it’s basically like a game because I’m 10 and sometimes I just record my brother being weird.

Please Make Transcription Optional

I don't like the new feature that forces transcriptions on every new message. This is frustrating. Please make this feature at least opt out but preferably opt in.

It’s fun to use

It’s just a fun thing to use when I’m bored, expecially since you can speed it up and slow it down
