■ FAQ
‣ Can I edit the text in the app?
I don't plan to support any editing. Export the transcription and edit it in a proper text editor.
‣ Why is the app so large?
The app delivers the highest quality transcription on the market for 100 different languages. Rather than asking why it's so large, the real question is how is it so small.
‣ Why is the transcription so slow?
The app favors accuracy over speed. However, performance is expected to improve in the coming months.
‣ Why must I keep the iOS app open while it transcribes?
iOS apps are fundamentally restricted from operating in the background for extended periods.
‣ Can I delete some of the languages to save space?
This is unfortunately not possible. The model has all the languages stored together in a way that makes it impossible to remove just some languages.

Es cierto que pesa más que otras pero para el peso que tiene es impecable. Como toda la transcripción es en el propio dispositivo tiene una gran privacidad, además es simple de usar e incluye un atajo para poder usarla con atajos. Muy buena app, súper recomendada.
Probably the best transcription app
LeoL89
I have tried tons of these apps. This is by far the most accurate and flexible one. A true life changer. Works across multiple languages. Not super fast on longer recordings but it produces great results with minimal mistakes. And it doesn’t require a subscription! I would gladly pay triple what I paid as a one-time fee for this app. It saves me literally hours of work each week.
Great when it works
Jaojao Johnson
It’s a great and simple software, and when it works, it produces excellent results. But often wise it will just keep repeating the same phrase over and over for the whole transcription. Seems to be a fundamental and big bug, that occurs more often than not, unfortunately. I hope it gets fixed soon

Make sure you have enabled the “reduce repetitions” setting.
Great, my favourite one
