What People Are Saying
“Must-have utility for privacy conscious people who need transcriptions done fast and easy. I really enjoy it!”
“I LOVE the functionality on my MacBook. With the keyboard shortcut, this is the fastest and best and most user-friendly way to type anything. Press fn and it works in 10 milliseconds. I much prefer recording my voice memos, but those aren't always convenient for my friends and clients to listen to.”
