Transcribe – Speech to Text

The weirdest way to do transcribing. First it does an audio recording which u have to wait for to download to see if and what it transcribed. Then it makes multiple files with each short sentence. How is that useful? It’s more work than if I just wrote the whole thing myself. And after that fiasco, I redownloaded it and now it won’t even have an option to use a free version. For the most basic voice to text it asks you to pay. It is unconscionable that in this age of technology when we pay hundreds to thousands $ for these machines you can’t even get a transcribing app without paying for a subscription. Horrible. Greedy, and time wasting.

I tried the weekly plan and attempted to convert the audio of a 45-minute meeting into text. 1# It doesn't accept m4a files, which is ironic since that's the format for iOS voice notes. I had to download another app and pay extra to convert my files to a format the app would accept. 2# When converting, the app doesn't show any feedback on the progress. I waited for over two hours, thinking something went wrong until the processing stopped. I tried to view the text, and the app crashed. I tried multiple times, and the app keeps crashing.

I've just done my first dictation and I'm very impressed with the results. I've tried so many similar apps but the results left much to be desired.
