About this app

The speech to text application that allows you to take voice notes and save them locally or send them to cloud services. Suitable for communication with deaf people.

Supports a customizable list of replaceable words and punctuation for voice input; continuous speech recognition; letter capitalization control; undo command for the last speech input, triggered by a button or by voice.

Can recognize speech in online and in offline mode (offline mode not available for some devices and languages).

Supports auto punctuation for major spoken languages.

Notes can be tagged and filtered by tags.

Contains words and characters counter. Convenient for bilingual voice input. Exports notes to Documents or Download folder or sends them to any text program. Can import text files from file managers or Google drive.

Allows you to save backup copies of notes with a customizable history depth.

When you save notes, you can automatically upload them to Google Drive.

Has a widget for convenient start. Integrated with Google Assistant, note recording can be started and stopped by voice.

The notes can be read aloud by android TTS engine.

Requirements for work:
1. The application uses default Android speech recognizer and optimized to use voice input from Google, so the device (phone or tablet) must have Google speech recognizer App installed and updated(!)
2. To improve the speech recognition it is desirable to have an Internet connection and also need to install a language pack for local voice recognition. Without a local language pack, if the Internet is lost, the application will stop and give an error. To install the package, read the application help.

Ratings and reviews

I tried several other apps that attempt to do the same thing, but none were as good for me as this one. First, transcription is accurate. It has a clean, uncluttered interface, yet extended controls are easily accessible when needed. It is very reasonably priced for purchase without requiring a subscription. The workflow is intuitive and unobtrusive. Multiple options are available to fine tune transcription if you want. Thanks and kudos to the developer.

It's a really good app, way better than other free apps I tried. I use it for taking reading notes (so far, in English, and in Russian). Text recognition works well (except personal names). In premium, it's synchronised with Google Drive - so you can clean up in ChatGPT if needed. Great app to take notes in Dale Couper's way.

I was expecting to able to use it to listen to a podcast and have it type what it heard, instead of having me constantly starting and stopping to do it. As soon as it plays, the app stops recording. When I use the app, the pod cast stops. If I manage to have the podcast still playing, the sound is off. That was really all I needed it for, but this can not be used for it, unfortunately. Edit: What I need is a premium feature, which I do not have. That is unfortunate. Will uninstall.
