### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas, arnaque

*2026-02-14*

L’appli ne fonctionne pas. Et pire que ça il n’y a aucun moyen de se contacter le support pour annuler mon abonnement

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE paid option!! Will Trash your work.

*2026-01-12*

Alright, I have to report this app! This has been five times at least now that it has thrown away my work. I paid for this relatively soon after I started working with it, but then every month or so it somehow logs me out of my subscription and doesn't tell me. I will be dictating something for like 5 minutes (that I can NOT get back) then finish and hit stop, and THEN it thinks that I'm not using the paid option, and have hit my limit. YES, it lets me make it all the way to the end of 4 or 5 minutes, and THEN it pops up its stupid window saying “you've reached the end of your 30-day trial. You need to pay for it.” And it throws away my audio. It is GONE and there's no way I can get it back. It's so frustrating and I am just sick of this.  This is such a stupid developer mistake!

DO NOT BUY!!

### 2/5 — spinning forever bug

*2025-10-10*

This app has been great so far (I am paying for this!), but recently a bug seems to have been introduced. If I do a recording and then I get interrupted by a phone call or switch apps while it is doing the transcribe of the recording, it will actually put that recording into a permanent loading state that just spins forever. I can close the app, even reboot the phone, and I'll come back in and it will perpetually keep showing this spinning icon forever after that. I can still play the audio out, but it doesn't even show the red error that I can then try to do a retry. I have about five of those in my list of recordings that are showing infinite spinners on them. Please fix that.

### 1/5 — Almost never works

*2025-10-09*

I’ve had the same experience.  It may do five minutes or it may hang and say timed out or there’s an error.  Not worth the hassle.

### 5/5 — Harika çeviri

*2025-08-04*

Siz bu işi biliyorsunuz

### 2/5 — Ne fonctionne pas correctement

*2025-05-29*

75% du temps la transcription ne fonctionne pas :(

### 2/5 — Didn't work with iPhone voice memo m4a.

*2025-05-15*

The program told me it didn't support this particular format. Deleted immediately.

### 1/5 — Smart but so buggy

*2025-04-16*

Regular bug in transcription (several time out)

### 1/5 — Pas satisfaite

*2025-03-25*

J’ai essayé la version gratuite qui m’a bluffée. J’ai donc décidé de prendre la version payante qui ne fonctionne pas. On m’explique? Et on me rembourse si on ne me trouve pas de solutions? (Oui j’ai déjà désinstallé, réinstallé plusieurs fois)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Always Work

*2025-02-11*

Very frustrating. I will dictate this whole thing and all that will come up is the word “you.” I paid the subscription, but it also tells me there is an error. So I am done with this product. When I have to fight more with it than enjoy it, it’s not worth it.
