Live Transcribe

If you want accurate, fast transcription, it’s limited to 5 hours a month. The basic transcription is “Unlimited”, but it’s crap. It either just keeps blinking and listening trying to understand what’s being said or it’s incorrect or it works great for a few minutes and goes back to being crap. I’ve noticed only a few times that Basic works accurately and continuously for more than a few minutes. I’ve also noticed thar Basic works well for a minute right after you switch from Pro. It’s using the same speech recognition from your phone regardless of Basic or Pro so why charge an exorbitantly higher price for Pro quality (after your 5 hours per month is up)? It’s already expensive for the app. iPhone has made a Live Transcription as part of their Accessibility features, but it only recognizes American and Canadian English currently. I happen to need it a lot for Australian and British English, which surprisingly doesn’t get recognized yet. Only way I’ll keep subscribing is if it’s Pro quality all the time. I don’t have time to ask someone to stop talking while I switch modes or try to pay extra for an hour of Pro just so I can understand what they’re saying.

I woke up around Christmas 2019 I could no longer understand what my now ex husband and kids were saying. I’ve been to numerous ents, also a geneticist, and a neuropathy neurologist. Trying to figure out what has happened? If anyone has a clue please let me know. I’ve had 2 Head mri’s. I’m still getting tests trying to figure out what’s wrong with me. But I can still hear sounds not perfectly a lot of sounds I can’t hear anymore like running water, fans etc. But voices are like Charlie Browns parents even tests make them loud but I can’t understand the words anymore. It’s frustrating but thankfully I have this app to help communicate. I wish it stayed in 2.0 all the time it was more of a life saver especially with gatherings I still feel at a loss. But at least I can kinda understand people with the app. Thanks for having the app! Subscriber since I found it in spring 2021. I still don’t know asl. It definitely helps!!

Last Saturday my husband woke up about five am the usual time he gets up turned to me and said I can’t hear a thing when he tried to get up he was extremely dizzy I called our dr he said it’s some inner ear thing I’ll see him Monday since he has no pain. All day Saturday and Sunday he was miserable not able to keep his balance but especially not able to hear anything thing at all..I banged a spoon against a pan he heard nothing. Monday our dr sent us to a specialist my husband had no wax, fluid in the ear or inflammation the dr said it is a rare condition that not much is known about it he injected steroid into his ears that didn’t work as of today he was started on oral steroids. The specialist showed me this app so that I could communicate with my husband it has been a God send. Now I pray his hearing is restored or at least some of his hearing restored 🙏🏻. Thank you so much for this amazing app. Lilly
