Transcribes voice accurately

By ChaseMcWebster (Pcmac user)

A few features would make this perfect. First, if I could use this in tandem with a document writing program, such as Word. Second, if there was a word count somewhere on screen. Lastly, if there were more clear directions for getting the text into the various document writers. Copying and pasting isn’t alway ideal and it can make formatting a pain. Also, I’d like to see Thai added to language options. I didn’t see it. I speak Thai, but am not literate. My family speaks Thai on my wife’s side. I would like to be able to speak to write in order to talk to family.
Met my expectations, great app with scope for improvement

By GiftsInBottles (Pcmac user)

I am using this tool for an hour now and I already did a good 1000 words. Few issues I found using this app was inability to edit while recording (I feel if you just provide a backspace on the editor) and ads are not annoying at all. They come and go. Man has to eat! I wish if you can configure your AdWords in a way that display relevant ones. I think the setup should ask a few optional questions, and create a persona (like a profile) and show those types of ads. You need to mine your customers and and try to understand who are they and why are they using your app? I am sure you are doing these, if not, consider them. Thanks
App

By Zekedogkat (Pcmac user)

This is the best app for this app which requires scientific terms. It is easy to use. It makes some mistakes with scientific terminology but is better than the other apps. I have tried thirteen other apps and this is the best app. It is expensive compared to most other speech to text apps. However the large cost of this appto me is worth the price. For simple this app, choose the free or inexpensive apps. For more sponistictated this app I recommend this one. The Apple app is good but I believe that this one is better. I can easily send the finished this app to Word etc.
Not sure what happened....

By GenericAppStoreNickname (Pcmac user)

The app itself is completely fine. The quality of the this app is far better than Apple stock voice transcription. The only issue I’ve had has not been with the app. When I upgraded the free app, to the pro version, I was charged $23. However, when I checked the price of the pro app according to the App Store, the pro app standalone price is $14. I’m not sure why there is a price discrepancy between the upgrade and the standalone pro version. It’s such an odd circumstance, that I’m considering contacting Apple to ask them what’s going on.
