Ratings and Reviews
Pretty Good service, getting there
I have use Simon Says on a few projects now. The transcription is great! Fast, effective, and affordable. The features I most hope for, that is roundtripping to an NLE for a stringout, are still wonky. I hope they figure it out because it would become an indespensible part of my workflow.
Developer Response ,
Thank you! We’d appreciate more input on how you’d ideally like a stringout roundtrip to work: mind emailing us on hello@ or using the support chat icon?
Super helpful
We're using this service as a tool for our editing of a feature documentary. The auto transcription is fine and on par with all other auto transcription services. I think they all use the same API anyway. But with this tool we can have an assistant clean up the auto transcript and get the text into the edit system using highlights/favorites. Once we figurd out how to use it within our system it's super helpful and a big time-saver in the editing process of a feature film.
Poor Accent Transcription w/ Poor Editing Functionality
The quality is subpar - I had to edit around a quarter of the full 8 minute output - it does not pick up accents well at all. Additionally, editing the transcription is an absolute pain. It opens up a webpage pop up within their app, which in itself is an incredily slow an painful process, with again very slow load times and touchy menus. It comes together feeling very messy and unpolished. They mentioned 2 months ago they were implementing in-app editing 'soon' - well it seems soon isn't 2 months in their books, so who knows! That's a bit of a deal breaker for me.
Developer Response ,
Sorry you're frustrated. Accents are a known challenge to accuracy. A native Spanish speaker speaking Spanish will be more accurate than a non-native speaker with a foreign accent speaking accent. We cover it here: https://help.simonsays.ai/en/articles/2657851-what-is-the-accuracy-of-your-system
In terms of in-app editing: you can edit in the app! You can add speaker labels, bookmarks, notes. When you want to edit the transcript itself: our editor is web based and when you click on the "edit" button in the app, it loads the website; then when you login, it loads your transcript to edit.
