United StatesVoiceExpress allows you to transcribe any voice message or audio file. It can convert voice messages to text in all languages supported by the system dictation service. VoiceExpress also supports transcribing audio files with Shortcuts! Using VoiceExpress is very simple: * You can open VoiceExpress and select or drop an audio file. * Or you can open any audio file from other apps using the “Share” or “Open with…” menu. VoiceExpress supports macOS, iOS and iPadOS. Notes: • VoiceExpress supports as input voice messages and audio files in all common formats like AAC, MP3, M4A, CAF and Opus and allows you to share, save or copy the transcription a text file. • VoiceExpress Shortcuts support includes two actions: “Transcribe Audio” to transcribe an audio file in Shortcuts (limited to 10s on iOS and iPadOS) or opening the app and “Get Current Transcription” to load the current transcription text from the VoiceExpress app.
Does not work
Program keeps crashing with the following error message. The operation couldn’t be completed. (kAFAssistantErrorDomain error 203.) Using on Mac OS 12.5.1. It does not matter the size of file. Only conclusion is I wasted my money. Too bad there is not trial periiod and no way to contract support.
United Statespoor interpretation of voice recordings
quite a disappointment. i paid for the app expecting it to be better than the free alternatives. but instead it is worse making up bizarre incomprehensible stories from the small bits of voice it correctly interprets. basically a waste of money and i am surprise Apple has it in its apps store.
United StatesUnlimited Free Transcription
Apple has recently introduced full-power audio transcription into Mac OS, but for some insane reason have neglected to make it possible to transcribe recorded material, regardless of how trivial this would be. Workarounds are available using very expensive audio-patching applications such as Loopback or Audio Hijack, and there are extremely expensive transcriptions apps, and 'free' transcriptions apps which use subscription-based models or per-word models of pricing which end up being stupidly expensive in the long run. The solution is obvious: somebody needs to come along and creat an app that uses MacOS's new, built-in transcription services to transcribe files. That is what this app does. How does it compare to Dragon Dictate? Exactly as well as MacOS's dictation services do, which is to say: not so shabby. More importantly, it offers unlimited transcriptions for free, once you pay the up-front cost of the app, which is less than the cost of a Latte, or a mid-range sandwich at a fast food joint. The people who give this app low ratings are clearly comparing it to $300 apps. This is a $4 app that provides unlimited transcriptions of relatively high quality. That earns it 5 stars, easy.
United StatesGood for YOUR voice - bad for music
If youre a doctor / lawyer type and want to take verbal notes then get text. Uh.. well it works. sort of. *The start dictation piece didnt work. i was expecting the cursor would blink and i could talk and it would transcribe. Heard the beep but didnt work. *If you feed it in a MP3 file with your voice and no background noise. it works 95% well! *If you feed it a song with music around the words, quality goes down to MAYBE 10-15% accuracy. They need a song filter where it can separate out the music and mute that and amplify spoken words and extract the words. So it will work but not to transcribe song lyrics as i had hoped and bought it for. Maybe ill use it still someday. Hope they keep making it better.
United StatesVery usefull and a good value (v1.4)
Uses Apple's OS built-in voice-to-text capability. Performs well on voice files I exported from screen-recorded videos I created on my Mac using apple wired headset. Not perfect, but did not expect it to be. Provides me with a good starting text file that I then edit. Saves me lots of time manually transcribing voice files, with no online connection needed and no recurring transcription fees. No problem trsnscribing 20minute-long audio files (my longest so far,) which required about 15min30sec to transcribe, not sure what is the max length of the audio file it will transcribe. You can also transcribe on the fly from voice to text without first ctreating an audio file. Not alot of bells and whistles, but a good basic, and very affordable, transcription tool.
United StatesNot Working
transcribes 2 or 3 words of mp3 files before throwing an error message
United StatesUseful
When I switched to Mac I lost my favorite dictation software. VoiceExpress however is a decent program and I believe it uses mac's speech recognition so there are definitely errors in the transcription. However, it saves me time from having to sit at the computer and type everything. And no transciption apps are perfect. I just have fix the errors on my document and then it's ready to go. So far I've tested with a twenty minute audio file. I'm hoping it will transcribe at least an hour of playback, but we'll see. But for now it's well worth the money.
