Unfiltered reviews from the App Store

C'est aujourd'hui la meilleure application de transcription locale, c'est la plus rapide sur Mac. Elle n'offre pas certaines fonctionnalités de ses concurrents, mais ses fonctionnalités ne sont pas indispensables.

Voice Type - Real Time Dictation is incredibly accurate and easy to use. It's perfect for students and professionals who want to save time by speaking instead of typing.

Germany, Version 1.00.07

I tested out the 5 popular dictation apps and this one is easily the best bang for your buck. It doesn't mess up my words, and I am able to add my own vocabulary/names.

Mac Sequoia 15.1 caused my dictation to stop working. This is the only thing I found that could get me back to the productivity levels I needed.

I love this app! I'm now using it across every input text in my Mac. I can save a lot o time.

SimoSev

Italy, Version 1.00.05

This is a fantastic app. I code, make PowerPoint presentations, and write a lot of emails for work. And I can now just dictate all of it instead of actually typing it out.
