Vienna Scribe

This is, by any standards, a terrific app, it’s speech-to-text accuracy as good as I have ever seen. It also has excellent implementation of speech to text in a range of languages which, as far as I can determine, are also impressively accurate. When it comes to documentation, Vienna Scribe is puzzling. The developer’s own website doesn’t appear to mention the app, and info on the App Store refers to ‘manual language selection’ now being available in the latest update, but even with a full subscription I see no menu or option to implement anything of the sort. Rather, Vienna Scribe seems to run in one default mode and it’s more than powerful enough for most transcription uses. It would be nice to have more info and more control over options (and, weirdly, the email address on the App Store page has a typo that means correspondence with the dev is virtually impossible, even when I tried a number of variations). But perhaps the developer has better things to be doing than getting distracted by quibbles such as these. For all that, Vienna Scribe is a great app, a class-leader, I would suggest, lacking the bells and whistles of some of its competitors, perhaps, but making up for their absence with excellent, reliable and speedy performance.

This is such a great app, it’s free of clutter and just works. I love the fact that it works with meeting recordings even with multiple people.

I am reaching out to express my deep appreciation for the Vienna Scribe application, a tool I find immensely helpful in my daily writing endeavors. Dictating my thoughts and then editing them meticulously in a word processor significantly enhances my productivity and creative process. As a regular user, its role in my routine is indispensable. However, I have faced a significant issue that affects my experience. Being visually impaired, I depend on the iPhone’s VoiceOver feature for navigation and app interaction. For a long time, I was unaware of Vienna Scribe’s recording function because it was not detectable by VoiceOver, presenting a considerable accessibility barrier. My curiosity led me to research and confirm that the app indeed had this capability. By using another app to interpret a screenshot of Vienna Scribe’s interface, I finally located the elusive record button. Despite my proficiency with the iPhone, I’ve had to devise a workaround by temporarily disabling VoiceOver to activate the record button. This method is inconvenient and limits my ability to manage incoming calls or notifications effectively. Although this workaround is creative, it’s not a sustainable or accessible solution for all VoiceOver users, particularly those who may not be comfortable with disabling VoiceOver even briefly. I am a subscriber to Vienna Scribe, which speaks to my fondness for and frequent use of the app. My ongoing support hinges on enhancements to its accessibility, particularly making the record button VoiceOver compatible. Currently, the app seems accessible and user-friendly in other aspects, but ensuring full accessibility for the record button is critical for an inclusive experience. In conclusion, I hope my feedback is taken seriously. The needs of VoiceOver users should be a priority, actively addressed to create an accessible and supportive environment for everyone. Your focus on inclusiveness would not only reinforce my loyalty but also significantly improve the experience for visually impaired users globally. Thank you for your time and for considering my request.

Huge waste of money. Transcriptions are garbled 65% of the time. Pretty much all competitors work better.

BRO I LOST MY AUDIO NOOO it were the most beautiful words i had ever said is there any way i can get them back

This is another AI ripoff. You pay $10 a month and the app continuously shows transcriber malfunction. Several emails to support are unanswered. Stay away from anything by this developer‼️

I use this daily. It’s excellent and works really well!

The app has completely failed to do transcription the last 3 times I’ve tried it. Twice it gave me a mix of Korean characters and Wingdings, and just now I tried to transcribe a 10 minute call recording and I got a line of hyphens as the transcription. Haven’t changed anything about how I record or my settings or anything. Guess I’m cancelling my subscription.

I am replacing my long used transcription service with Scribe. Super accurate, even with my southern accent.

Does not provide SRT subtitles for voice overs.
