1. [R1] iTranscribe 1/5 · US Malfunctions: App continually craps out and won’t upload content for transcription without deletion and other maneuvers. Glitches in this manner far too often.
2. [R18] iTranscribe 3/5 · US Suddenly Stops: This app worked so well a year ago I started the monthly subscription. Now it randomly stops recording for no reason and I have to pause and restart the recording. Tons of important information lost in between. Cancelling my subscription.
3. [R40] iTranscribe 5/5 · US School: Perfect app, well working and not too much complicated
4. [R41] iTranscribe 1/5 · US Stopped working: This app used to work great. Now it stopped exporting. There is no customer service for it. I have emailed three times to get assistance and nobody has responded. I cannot access my last transcriptions and that sucks. Now I have to find another audio transcription app.
5. [R3] iTranscribe 3/5 · US Rough.: I’ll continue looking for a more accurate transcription app.
6. [R6] iTranscribe 3/5 · US Last wheel and testament: Last will and testament improve your grammar access so it uses common sense when it’s putting in words, I was saying last Testament keeps telling me we like the car wheel or a bike wheel. It’s not wheel it’s WILL this seriously affected my using your application to put in my last will intestine. I’m not sure if I’m gonna do it again, but you can see by the Miss Stone. I’v
7. [R12] iTranscribe 3/5 · US Close but not accurate: The transcription was close but missed on a lot of words. They offer a human transcription for $32 or so, which is probably what they may really be after.
8. [R13] iTranscribe 1/5 · US Unhappy: Did not transcribe any of my audio to text
9. [R4] iTranscribe 1/5 · US Immediately charged a fee: I waned to try for free and was immediately charged for the annual amount and I could not get reimbursed although I had also immediately cancelled it. Very disappointed.
10. [R15] iTranscribe 3/5 · US Is $49.99 a year reasonable? It's too expensive. · translated
11. [R19] iTranscribe 1/5 · US There’s no settings: There’s not a way visible to unsubscribe from the service while you’re on the app.
12. [R22] iTranscribe 1/5 · US Give them free money: Waste of money. Slick how you download and then get charged for a “ free trial”. I kept it 10 minutes, discovered it sucks and cancelled free trial
13. [R10] iTranscribe 1/5 · US File: Editing, copy and paste, and printing not supported on my iPhone. Ready to cancel
14. [R27] iTranscribe 3/5 · GB How does it work: I downloaded the free trial as I have Parkinson’s disease and have great difficulty in typing emails and texts I thought. This might be the answer to my problem but can’t find even a. User guide.it seems far too complicated for my. Little. Brain to take in so am canceling my subscription from today 8th May 2023.
15. [R45] iTranscribe 1/5 · US Paid for human transcribing never got it: Stay away from this app I paid for human transcribing service through the app and never got it but they took my money out of my account and never refunded it. Shady business practice stay away at all costs.
16. [R51] Speechify 1/5 · US AI read books: The only voice I seem to be able to get is Samantha. She sounds exactly like AI and speaks too fast even at the slowest speed having her read a book is useless with her fast, nasal toneless voice. It appears if you want a decent voice you have to pay a month monthly fee. Unless you want to do this, don’t bother to download books unless you intend to read them and not listen to them
17. [R53] Speechify 3/5 · US Decent But Not Great: AI tools are nice but not precise. - Numerous pronunciation errors with common words. - Scan tool is cool but processing takes too much time. Basically, scan some pages, go to bed, wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, come home and listen to one of them. Go to bed, wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, listen to another page. - Free book collection is fair. Some dec
18. [R54] Speechify 1/5 · US The quality got significantly worse after my free trial ended: I am a graduate student who needs to read 4-6 textbooks intermittently for each semester of my graduate course. I thought that this would be a good way to do so. I signed up for the free trial and decided I would pay for premium if I liked the quality. Those first three days of my free trial there were no issues. It was on the day that
19. [R55] Speechify 5/5 · US Great app: This app has been amazing. They are currently having an outage causing it to not work, but they responded to me quickly to explain. It’s amazing being able to upload a pdf for it to read to me. I uploaded the copy of my textbook and have been using it to read to me while I read along and it’s greatly helping with my comprehension and focus.
20. [R65] Voice Recorder & Audio Editor 1/5 · US Beware of your recording automatically disappearing!!: I am extremely disappointed in this product. I first had a 5 day free trial and then was automatically charged for a monthly subscription. I would not have minded that except that a very important 3 hour recording was automatically deleted. I send two emails to customer support and never heard back. I’d give them a zero rating if I could.
21. [R66] Voice Recorder & Audio Editor 5/5 · US Sound: Great
22. [R67] Voice Recorder & Audio Editor 3/5 · US Lost Recordings: Many times I have sent a recording to someone only for it to be a recording from the previous week. Now, today’s recording has just disappeared. Frustrating.
23. [R68] Voice Recorder & Audio Editor 2/5 · US Bug fixes: I love this app but I keep getting a notification that says “no speech detected” and I genuinely don’t know what to do.
24. [R79] Speak & Translate 2/5 · US Good app once it loads: The app still takes a long time to load
25. [R80] Speak & Translate 5/5 · US Really nice to use: GREAT APP
26. [R81] Speak & Translate 3/5 · US Long App Load Time: The app takes a very long time to load, which makes it difficult if you are trying to start or answer in a conversation
27. [R82] Speak & Translate 1/5 · US It was a great application: They sent out an update a couple of weeks ago and now it doesn’t know what language you are speaking. It went from good to useless.
28. [R93] Google Translate 2/5 · US Good: The
29. [R94] Google Translate 4/5 · US I don’t understand why they moved the reverse translation.: It’s no longer simple to use; I don’t understand the change.
30. [R95] Google Translate 3/5 · US Great tool, but Conversation Mode is broken. Bring back manual control!: The auto-detection in Conversation Mode is too aggressive. When sharing one phone with a friend, the app constantly cuts me off and blasts out translations while I'm still talking. It causes a confusing overlap of audio that ruins the conversation. Please bring back the manual recording controls and give us an option to disab
31. [R96] Google Translate 1/5 · US Error: All I get is “I didn’t understand the audio”. I write to Google to get an answer and all I receive is a “thank you for your feedback” message.
32. [R107] Otter Transcribe Voice Notes 1/5 · US Worst mistake I ever made: 1 star is generous
33. [R108] Otter Transcribe Voice Notes 5/5 · US CRO: Fantastic product. Been using it for a while. As someone that is constantly in meetings, not only is the basic AI transcription fantastic, the image capture feature is often indispensable as it gives you instant context to what you were discussing without having to go find materials.
34. [R109] Otter Transcribe Voice Notes 3/5 · US OK. Integrates well with AI.: Not that great at identifying names of speakers. My hope is that it would identify a voice and give it a speaker number, but you have to go in and label every speaker even when it’s the same person and you’ve already given them a label. Also, I have not figured out a way to crop transcripts so if you record longer than you meant to, you can’t crop that part out.
35. [R110] Otter Transcribe Voice Notes 1/5 · US How did this happen?: Somehow this app popped up and does its thing, but I do not want it, nor need it, nor know how to use it. How do I stop $$$?
36. [R5] iTranscribe 5/5 · US Incredible!: Summarized a one hour conference with zero effort on my part. Phenomenal!!
37. [R24] iTranscribe 3/5 · GB Cost: 5.49 per week.. definitely not worth it. I’d pay that monthly though.
