2024-05-07 | Kim Smalley | I like this app. I have just used it to write a policy. I can achieve much more with a voice to text app than I can by word-processing. The app does not always catch every word correctly. However, if you speak slowly and in groups of words which make sense linguistically, the app copes remarkably well. It also gives you a choice when it is unsure of what you are saying. What's great is that I have just copied my written text and sent it to my work email. I shall definitely use it again. | |
2023-04-11 | Chris Smith | It's a pretty solid app, works well. The only difficulty i have had was it having trouble picking up my voice, and that's probably the mic/phone, not the app. Honestly, it works well enough that i wouldn't mind paying for it. I like that it gives several options if it isn't sure, it does capitalize oddly on occasion, but that's pretty minor. | |
2023-03-03 | Rachel Hardstaff | Tried a few apps like this. This is a the best idea. It understands what it can and types it. It is accurate. Many voice activated systems mishear me this one is good. This app thank goodness does not give you lots of different variations on what you may have said to choose from as I saw in other apps | |
2022-09-22 | Ellie Holoska | In the beginning I found speech-to-text very annoying because it wasn't picking up my speech. Then I found the menu that allows me to adjust my tone and how quickly I speak and it's been a lot better. The problems for me is it doesn't understand all words for example I was trying to use the word tone and it kept coming up with time so I have to go back to the typing option to fix it. Also if I want to use a comma it doesn't pick it up so I go back to typing | |
2022-09-11 | Annemarie McKee | Tried this app out but it didn't work for me... Maybe it's just my phone's microphone but I couldn't get the app to correctly record 70 percent of my words even though I'm not mumbling and even when I repeated words several times. Sorry but uninstalling. | |
2022-07-26 | Frank S | I have been documenting my travels in South America for the last two months using this app, thinking it is more convenient than writing everything down. I open the app last week and discovered I lost everything! It just disappeared. I am not a fan now. I emailed the company several times to see if there is a way to retrieve my data and no reply. Very disappointed! | |
2022-05-09 | Hamsul Basri | Simple yet helpful. It is light to use as well so old phones can still make the most of it. I uses this in Bahasa Indonesia and the result is pretty much accurate. Just speak a bit slower, I mean, even human is hard to notice what we're saying when we say the words faster, and you are fine. As this is really useful to convert voices to texts and that's the only thing I need, this app made me uninstall another one. Thank you. | |
2022-04-12 | Shermona Powers | It does well with speech recognition. I would give it 5 stars but it would not be an accurate review. While it recognizes speech well, it does not always get the words correct, even with deliberate enuciation. It is perfect for quick notes when I have my hands full. | |
2021-12-14 | Anyameluhor Jindu | I would have given it 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟, but I have to wait and use it for some months to see how consistent it will be with the wonderful performance I have just experienced from it in turning speech into text. It does it superbly well! Guys let's keep our fingers crossed and see how the developer maintains, and even improves it; I will be back to complete the stars if I see consistency. | |
2020-12-30 | Frank Granda | App is horrible...Need to navigate thru 2 or 3 adds before I can use it....At times it does not save work even though the speech is clearly captured... Also locks up between ads...Naturally if the app is not good why would I use the products advertised on the app ??? |
