iRecord: Transcribe Voice Memo

Using the iRecord was so simple and efficient! At a doctor appointment we get so much information in such a short amount of time and I record assist so much. I came home after the appointment and listened to the summary and it was amazing. Absolutely 100% accurate.. I only wish it didn’t cost $6 a week as I don’t use it that often but when I needed it, it’s extremely handy.

I wanted to like them so app and needed it to work for my microbiology class(nursing prerequisite) but it just doesn’t do a good job of transcribing. I will make sure that I am set up on WiFi so that it can connect to the transcription software… I’ll start the recorder and once in a while it will do its job of recording and transcribing. BUT most of the time it will only record. And to make matters worse when I go to get a transcription after the fact(since it didn’t do it when I was actively recording) it wants to charge me lol anywhere from $40-80 depending on how long the recording is!!! WHAT!!? Why!? Not cool. I have had luck with using the voice recorder that comes with the iPhone and then transferring the recording to iRecord and it seems to translate that way… All in all this doesn’t work as advertised and not worth the money in my opinion.

I downloaded it and accidentally thumb ID’d on my phone which purchased a trial version. I didn’t want a monthly app- how ridiculous is that in the first place? You’re not Microsoft :) Anyway, I thought I would try the free trial out and I gave it a go. It did not work as well as my phones voice record or voice to text, nor did it work as fast. It was actually significantly worse, and I deleted the app. Well, well, well- apparently I deleted a SHORTCUT to the app, and the app stayed on. I just got charged for a sub-par app that didn’t work right, and deleted the “subscription” as soon as I saw the email. Recurring charges for a freaking voice app is ridiculous, and the fact that it doesn’t work well makes it even more ridiculous. Anyway, I would expect a developer who charged recurring fees for a piddly dink little app to actually include a shortcut with the app in order to mislead people to thinking that the app was gone; and viola! That is exactly what this app does! Screw you, screw your unscrupulous attempt to charge recurring fees for something so basic as a voice to text app, and screw your even harder for including a shortcut with the download. Big deal, ya made 5 bucks or whatever. Your magnum opus is complete now, and you can invest 5 bucks in your retirement plan or crack pipe- whatever, and so be it.
