Live Transcribe & Notification Customer Insights

1. 3) Can you allow a complete copy of the entire transcription instead of just individual selection timemarkers?Pretty much every time I open this app (either on my phone or tablet) it tells me "app offline", so I have to exit the app, go into settings > accessibility > instant transcribe, close it, hit OK, open it, hit OK, exit and then re-open the app.

2. It's time consuming to copy and paste parts of the text one at a time, and worse, the app scales back to the ends of conversations if you leave to paste the text into a doc then reopen to grab more text.

3. Absolutely recommend it.The transcription is actually quite good and accurate but it doesn't fit my needs, in that I cannot easily take that information and convert it into an email or a text or add it to another document.

4. 2) If you can't do something like a hyperlink, allow the app to have the cursor where you last left off reading instead of pushing back all the way at the bottom of the text when you open the app again.

5. I left off a star because there is room for minor improvements: voice to text recognition could be more accurate at times.

6. Please add in the capability to 'select all' rather than 'select conversation' so that copying text is a simple process — as it should be.

7. if you're looking for a simple program for a hearing impaired person or to have a conversation with someone in a different language then this would probably be a good choice.

8. I only have a few suggestions for the app which are: 1) The ability to more easily scroll back up to various time markers, maybe bookmarks/hyperlinks of sort? Currently, you have to scroll all the way back up to the top to see where you left off from reading.

9. One of the most annoying things is that it has a second language, which you switch to by swiping up on the bottom of the screen - the exact same place you swipe up to bring up the menu to close the app.

10. I'm trying to use this to communicate with my 91 year old mother, who's deaf, and she must think I'm a real screwball with all the ridiculous mis-transcribed stuff I say to her.This app allowed us to continue living semi normally after my wife suddenly lost her hearing from a brain tumor.

11. You can highlight text, and copy, but you cannot delete highlighted text.
