Very good UI and features! except... the actual captioning isn't very accurate, especially for what I need captions for- teacher instructions in class above background noise also, the option to save transcripts isn't appearing in my settings, and the bot and customer service wa subpar when I asked for help- they just sent me the same list of instructions that did not work for me, because the option itself didn't appear :///

I would call myself Tech savvy. Despite finding all the right buttons to help identify speakers, it wouldn't actually change the settings or suggest a premium option to use that feature. And the accuracy was horrible. If I can't figure this app out, there is no way my hard of hearing grandmother would be able to. I'm shocked at the good reviews. Maybe it wasn't compatible with my samsung.

This app doesn't have pricing nor options to subscribe. After the 20 min sample, this app becomes worthless. **Update** After doing separate research on the web. This app starts at 15$ USD a month for 120 minutes. It's a shame people with disabilities have to pay such a high price for accessibility. Google transcribe isn't as good, but it's free and works well.
