User Reviews for Dictation - Speech to text

No functional no support

I’m disabled and bought this app because I have limited use of my hands and had high hopes. As of right now it’s doing the exact same thing that it does if I were to not use the app. Every 60 seconds or so it just stops. I paid for the upgrade for the year and I don’t know what I paid for. If you click on the contact button it does nothing. It’s broken. You go nowhere. So so far I am unable to contact anyone to get help and it’s not working. I would like somebody to just contact me so I can get help. The reviews seem to state that this is a good app, so I’m guessing something is just going wrong for me. And I don’t know why the contact link leads nowhere. I need help.

Best Dictation to Text App by far

This is the best dictation to text app that I have tried and I have tried many of them. It is more accurate and clever at understanding punctuation as you go than others plus it has a few keys visible while dictating that can help control punctuation.It is well worth the annual fee. I highly recommend it. You can export your dictated text to other iPhone apps plus cut and paste to do the same thing if you prefer. It is simple to use and has a simple user interface but the results are great.

Transcribes voice accurately

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

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

Best dictation app I have ever used

And I have used all kinds of dictation apps going back to Via Voice (IBM). Remember that one? Since IBM took VV off the market, Dragon/Nuance has always been the standard bearer, and their products were always good (except for tech support) , but this app is far superior. Works great on iOS/iPADOS/MACOS. Accuracy is remarkable. Corrections done super easy, usually only very minor ones are needed. Customizable UI. Apple share sheet gets you into Messages, Mail, Files app, Notes, you name it. Incredibly fast. Huge increase in my productivity. Try it for free…you’ll see what I mean. Also extremely affordable with flexible payment plans if you decide to buy after the initial free usage. I have tried all the apps currently available….this one is head and shoulders above all the rest.

App shows a menu of supported speech languages but some of the desired language cannot be selected

I previously wrote a negative (2*) preview because after i purchased the Pro Version, I tried to set the app to do the voice-to-text in the language i selected but did not see any button or a box to confirm the selected language beside the “Dismiss” option. But after a few tries, I realized that after I selected “Setup” to choose the speech recognition language, I just needed to select “Dismiss” to go back to the interface where I can start the voice-to-text process by tapping on the red button at the bottom of the screen and just said a few words in the previously set language and saw that the speech is being transcribed in that set language. I wish there were some instructions guiding the user on how to set up the app to do the v-to-t in that language. Thus, the 4 stars instead of 5 ones.

This Dictation app is a revelation!

For too long I’d been misusing my smartphone and my laptop at the expense of my hands, wrists and shoulders. I'm addressing those physical problems, but in the meantime I’ve been using and recommending this DICTATION app to clients and friends for some time now. Eg a client who had a shoulder accident and surgery is so grateful. The DICTATION app is far far better than other dictation system I've tried. No comparison. Worth well worth the price. And if you have any questions, email inventor Christian! You’ll hear back shortly with answers!

Help for the Deaf!

I recently lost my hearing and I'm deaf in both ears. I like your app for one on one conversations. Having extra people in the room makes it difficult because this app picks up everything, including my voice. Only one person can speak at a time. Now I need to find an app that will work with my iPhone so I can do phone calls. I could not find one on your website and this surprised me. I hav not been able to figure out how to save or share a file. I've tried over and over but instructions are lacking.

IOS 15 problems

This is a great app in that there’s not limit to what I can dictate, it never stops “listening” when I pause to think, and I can easily email my writing to myself as a back-up. The latest update, however, is a lot less accurate. Mid-sentence capitalization, missed spacing, and an increase in misspelled words means my editing time has doubled. The IBN software team tells me this is an issue with Apple’s text to speech and not their app, so while I’ll still use it, I can’t whole-heartedly recommend it. I’ll adjust my review if the problems get ironed out in a subsequent update. I’m an author who dictates 4K+ words per day.

App

This is the best app for dictation 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 dictation, choose the free or inexpensive apps. For more sponistictated dictation I recommend this one. The Apple app is good but I believe that this one is better. I can easily send the finished dictation to Word etc.
