Thanks Beach he excellent app specially when you can translate it although and I tell husbands to watch out because now otherwise we’ll talk into the speaker and they better do with the wife wants if they don’t want to sleep in the garage ha ha is amazing especially when you can translate I was in an Uber and this is true the driver was Armenian and I couldn’t explain the directions so I talked into the Speechy in English and then I press the Arminian button he knew exactly what I meant and that’s it just amazing OK so I really love it and I recommended for everybody if you want to advertise and use my name or have we should be on television but your thing is if you talk slowly now if you have to go to Atlanta twilight zone or maybe it’s Alfred Hitchcock it’s called uncle Simon and when the Computer starts talking it talks slowly annunciates crisply and if you do that and talk slowly and enunciate Chrisley the t
I tested the app by loading a 20 minute recording of a speech. On the positive side, it transcribed the entire speech and allowed me to save the text and export it to another app (without a subscription). The price of $4.99 per month is unusually low. On the negative side, there were phrases in the recording that the program simply didn’t recognize, and instead of leaving markers for questionable text, it simply skipped the text and continued transcribing. The output file was one very long text file in a single paragraph with NO punctuation of any kind. Conclusion: In spite of the fact that it omits entire phrases it can’t recognize, this is clearly an app that should be considered when shopping for a speech-to-text app. By subscribing for one month, which I plan to do, there are features which may offset the negative aspects of the app. But the bottom line is that the user may try it out for free and get a true feel for whether it meets his or her specific needs.
Encontré este App buscando una ayuda para una amiga sorda, que pudiera entender lo hablado en reuniones de la iglesia. Es excelente y puede tomar dictados de cualquier sonido como videos grabados, Zoom, radio y TV, y lo puede usar hasta para comunicarse con médicos y todo el que ella no entienda. Soy profesional de la salud y lo usaré para comunicarme con sordos en mi práctica. Muchas Gracias. I found this App looking for help for my hearing impaired friend so she could understand our church meetings. This is excellent so she can read whatever is spoken in Zoom meetings, videos with no CC, radio, even communicating with live people. I will use it in our PT clinic for such patients. Endless uses. Thanks a lot!
This app is very good for voice dictation and translation. I have tried it for English to Hindi .but the only problem is that this app developer wants monthly subscription of five dollars that is too much. first of all it should be one time purchase. How and why a common man who is not a professional writing, can give five dollars a month ?and what is his use: he can dictate speech to text only 2 to 3 pages maximum five pages per month .for that this app people want five dollars? On the other hand google translate is free totally free and they have more languages than this. In this app there should be my native language Punjabi from India also. This app is quite easy to use and type in Text is also quite accurate but the subscription per month is too much. that is why I have uninstalled and deleted this app, is why I am giving it only three stars otherwise five .
I purchased this app with the understanding that I would go to pro. I updated to pro and in the process of searching this app and getting some questions answered I saw that there is yet another title with a slightly more expensive purchase price.The other title had an additional feature but other than that was identical to this with the following exception: the other app is self sustained while this one talks about paying $4.50 monthly.This is very confusing did I buy the wrong app or are they essentially the same thing once you upgrade?
I loved this app when I first got it a few weeks ago. It was accurate, reliable, and super effective. I started telling everyone about it. But that changed and now it’s awful. It’s frequently inaccurate, cuts off after a minute or so and is more difficult to use. I would have upgraded to the pro version before but there was no clear explanation of the pro features, so I didn’t know what I would have been signing up for. Now, I’m afraid to upgrade, based on the poor performance I’ve experienced lately. Instead, I am looking for another speech to text option. Speechy has potential, but would need considerable improvement.
Overall I gave it 4 stars compared to a few others I’ve tried that really stink. It requires a fair amount of editing but catches enough of what I’m saying that I can fix it up easily later. My main complaint: it completely freezes up, and won’t allow me to save my work if an alarm goes off (which I can control now that I know) or I get a call (which I can’t). I take intermittent screenshots now just as backup, and I save frequently in small batches. Would prefer to dictate for 30-45 min nonstop without worry of losing everything.
I have tried many dictation apps. But this one surpasses all of them. In accuracy, user friendliness, and more importantly the record option. It allows you to manage your text on spot. The possibility to add new words in the vocabulary is a big plus. That being said, there is one bemol: I am having trouble to share Text and Audio together. Only the text went through with WhatsApp and the audio with Messages. What have I done wrong? Please help!
I’m using this on an iPhone 11. I paid 7.99 and during the free trial version was forced into purchasing the Speechy Pro version. I did this because I liked the speech dictation-to-text function and for the convenience of saving/sharing that text onto my Apple “Notes” app by pressing a save/share button. Big time FAIL. I’m forced to highlight, drag-and-extend the cursor, then copy the text, then input into my Notes app, then open a new Note, then paste the text from Speechy there. Why would I pay money for something that Siri could do? She may not do it as well but I don’t have to waste my time and energy on a product that I PAID for.
I went with the light on my iPad and noticed the text got cut off when reading a WaPo article as a test. It basically stopped transcribing a quarter of the way through. Also, upon replay, it sounded like the mic didn’t work properly. I decided to switch over to my iPhone and did the same test. The mic worked, but still had the same issue with transcription stopping (i.e., some limit). I then decided to upgrade to the pro thinking the limit would be gone. Nope. In short, the Speechy is not supposed to have transcription limits like other transcription apps, yet it does. And the iPad mic does not work properly. I DON’T ADVISE PURCHASING THIS APP UNLESS THE DEVELOPERS ADDRESS MY CONCERNS. If they do, I’ll provide an update.
