Ratings and Reviews
Good and fast. But... no Apple Pay?
When I tried SimonSays out, I found that upload went smoothly and the service managed to return a decent transcript despite being given a poor quality recording. Of course, there were errors in the transcription, but I expected that because the content I gave it contained a lot of technical language. It still saved me a lot of time to avoid having to laboriously transcribe the whole file myself.
The one thing I want that the service doesn't currently offer is the ability to pay for the service using Apple Pay.
Wish It Actually Worked
The short: The app is super buggy, doesn't work and was a waste of my money.
The Long: I've been looking for an app that can both transcribe my interviews and also have them show up as ranges in FCPX. Unfortunetely Simon Says is super buggy to the point of being unsuable. The app is constantly crashing on me when I try to bookmark or add notes. Then when it launches back up all the previous work I've done is gone. Also the edit feature doesn't work at all. I'm using the latest version. Apparently Simon Says doesn't give refunds. If someone from Simon Says sees this, please reconsider giving refunds or seriously fix all the problems. I would love to use your app if it actually worked but until you do fix these issues I feel like I just threw $13 down the drain.
Fast, affordable, reliable. Crucial to my workflow
This app has completely changed the way I edit. It quickly and efficiently transcribes and translates in multiple formats, saving me hours upon hours of time in the NLE. It won't do all of your work for you (still need to correct specific terminology), but what ai does? I can't imagine working without Simon Says, and have already referred it to many colleagues. I look forward to growing with Simon Says, and I can't wait to see what innovations they come up with in the future.
