It’s very hard to get a 5 star out of me for any app! It’s not to often I give 5star rating even to hotels etc. But I do have to say this app is quite remarkable it does what it says it will do! It’s definitely worth it and really comes in handy! Thank you to the developers of this app and hope to review your or even beta test some of your new products. Thanks for such a great product!!!!

I don't understand the purpose of this app. It's no better at voice recognition than my iPhone's built-in voice dictation function (which, for those millions who don't understand the fact, is not Siri. Siri responds to commands and requests, but she doesn't take voice dictation. Voice Dictation takes voice dictation. You invoke Siri with your home button; you invoke Voice Dictation with the microphone button on the keyboard). Anyway, as I say, this app is no better at recognizing what I say than Voice Dictation is, and it might be worse at it (try dictating the word "temptation" for example; neither this app nor Voice Dictation will get it right.) Also, this app's "erase" button has an icon (is that a paintbrush?) that doesn't make it clear what it is, and you only find out what it is once you deleted your entire message. Hopefully after you've done that once you'll remember, but there should still be some kind of confirmation dialog asking you if you're sure you want to delete everything you just dictated. Add to all this the fact that, by using this app, you're probably sending your voice dictation to yet another remote place to be interpreted, thereby reducing still further what little privacy you already have, and the case against using this app becomes very strong indeed.

I was concerned about what the error rate would be with this app. Silly me. It's uncanny how well it gets me. I rarely need to make a correction. After awhile I even added punctuation by verbal command such as question mark, comma, exclamation point etc. and this app got that as well. All without needing a plug in or blue tooth microphone. I just hold my phone about a foot away and speak normally. Bravo and much thanks for an app that does what's expected and then some.
