Ratings and reviews

No batch transcribe??? WHY? You have to go to each recording, tap "Transcribe", wait for it to complete, then repeat. Bad enough normally, but recently the voice app malfunctioned and I had to reinstall. Despite backing up, all the transcriptions were lost. Now I have nearly 300 voice memos, and have to go to each one, tap Transcribe, wait for it to finish, repeat. Can't even que them. Seems to be just for marketing, so you're reminded every damn time you're using "GALAXY AI!!!"

I loved this app until they updated it. It stops every 15-20 minutes and has a 3 hour limit. I use my Samsung watch most of the time. There was no notice that they had changed the functionality and I missed almost all of an important event because I did not realize the recording had stopped. It also seems like the sound quality is not as good.

This is my favorite app for dictation. The sound quality is good, and the convert-to-text feature is better than other dictation software I've used. With the new update, the summary option, quick transcription, ability to create a Samsung note with both the transcription and recording are great. HOWEVER, you took away the ability to simply copy the text! PLEASE bring it back and take away the new extra steps needed to do what worked for years. That will bring back the fifth star.
