Diktat und Weitergabe funktionieren einwandfrei, auch im professionellen Anwendungsszenario!
Diktat und Weitergabe funktionieren einwandfrei, auch im professionellen Anwendungsszenario! Mir gefällt besonders gut die automatische Pause/Fortsetzung des Diktates durch die Spracherkennung. Für den professionellen Anwender ist auch der Preis in Ordnung. Zukünftig würde ich mir noch folgende Funktion wünschen: Diktataufnahme via Apple Watch. Hierdurch wären kurze Diktate noch schneller im Arbeitsalltag möglich, da die Apple Watch am Handgelenk jederzeit und schnell verfügbar wäre.
Pay Before You Play
I was able to record 15 seconds before I was told I had to pay to talk longer. WTH? There’s a huge difference between 15 seconds of talk time you get or the 24 hours of talk time you pay for. Who can record anything of importance in 15 seconds. All you say is “remember car keys” or something like that. Anyways I think it’s crazy to have to pay for this when I haven’t even gotten a feel for whether it will work for me. At least offer a free three day trial subscription or something.
First review
This is my very first tape. So far so good. I just need a little time to get the hang of it, but has promise.
Dictations get cut off
Dictations get cut off for playback at 2/3 of the way through. I have a paid subscription. The company contacted me via Apple and gave me an email for support, but the email address isn't valid and it keeps getting bounced back at me. Incredibly frustrated with this company and its lack of support.
Low volume playback
Not sure what has happened but recordings now can hardly be heard when played back in app unless turn volume to maximum - please sort asap as a great experience at the moment!
The Best!!
This app is literally life-changing.
Unreliable
Frequent problems with uploads not being forwarded or getting lost.
Good program
I have used this program for abou4 5 years when it was called Dictamus (Latin for “let us dictate”). It is a great program BUT the vendor does not continue to have an older version of the software that can run on IOS 12 like many older IPhones do. I had to install the cuuren5bsoftwareon my Ipas as my IPhone will not accept the software. Bill Leininger
Gebührenmodell völlig überhöht
Jeder möchte fortlaufende Einnahmen, allerdings ist dies bei einer Diktierapp nicht ganz nachvollziehbar, insb. in dieser Höhe. Großartige Neuerungen, die ein Abomodell nachvollziehbar machen, sind nicht erkennbar. Die alte Version zum Kaufpreis war top, das jetzige Abomodell ist dagegen ein Flop.
Externe Mikro Rhode
Leider keine Möglichkeit Rhode wireless Go II zu nutzen. Funktioniert aber in anderen Apps. Warum?
Mega
Tolle App. Benutze sie jeden Tag beruflich. Danke
This app was free when I had it 4 yrs ago!!
Sadly lost my iPhone had to start from scratch! I used this app for 4 yrs it was called dictate lite version, there was no limit to length of recording now unfortunately I had to download it again and it limits my recording to 30 s which for a doctors letter is not long enough! They want 60£/ yr which is outrageous!! Why have you guys done this?
Cumbersome, difficult to use
This app is difficult to navigate, very cumbersome.
Worse every update.
Somehow the app is slowly devolving, recent removal of microphone sensitivity settings renders it almost useless in most environments.
Update - great response
I had one issue with Dictate + that made it difficult to use. After contacting the company, an update was made, the issue is fixed and the app is now working well. Fantastic customer service and tech support.
Confusing
Confusing with new changes. I send the dictation but then after given me the green check, next day it still looks like needs to be sent? As well it sometimes stops recording and I then have to go back and re-record. I wish my company would not insist I used this app.
Deutlich schlechter als vorher
Vorher hat die App einmalig 19€ gekostet, jetzt werden 5€/Monat fällig! Gut, dass ich die alte App noch habe, aber die Entwicklung ist wirklich doof
Fast genauso gut wie der Vorgänger
Ich benutze schon seit Jahren die Vorgänger App. Nun bin ich umgestiegen, um diese mit OneDrive zu verbinden. Leider ist es mir nicht möglich bei der Übersendung auf OneDrive jedes Diktat individuell zu benennen. Es funktioniert nur die eingestellteBenennung des jeweiligen Diktates bei Der Übersendung, obwohl es sich im Hauptordner ändern lässt. Falls es die Möglichkeit gibt die individuelle Bezeichnung noch mit zu übermitteln an OneDrive, dass es dort auch auftaucht, bin ich mit dem Produkt mehr als zufrieden. Wäre super wenn der Hersteller hierzu etwas sagen könnte.
Indispensable application for my law practice
My legal assistant and I work remotely a lot. Being able to seamlessly and easily send dictation to her is of critical importance to me as a solo practitioner.
Presumed upgrade problems
Opened this today. I think that it has upgraded itself (3.0 I think) and it is terrible. The active dictation now fills a much smaller bit of the screen and the image of the sound bar is very stuttering and so I don’t know if it is recording smoothly. Even if it is, it is visually very off-putting. I have no idea why this has change as I have not asked to “upgrade” it. Will fiddle with settings in the hope that I can revert to how it was last week, which generally was good.
Beschriftung der Diktate nicht zureichend
Bitte lassen Sie in der Übersicht der Diktate den jeweiligen Betreff oder Namen vermerken. Mir reichen nicht Uhrzeit und Datum zur Orientierung aus. DANKE!
Bad new update
Made what was easy into pain in the…..
Ridiculously expensive
This app offers nothing over the other dictation app on the Apple App Store that justifies its price. Only bought it because my dictation provider wanted it but it is a rip off.
Impressive
We are most pleased with this app. Very easy to use.
To expensive
Too expensive. Over priced.
Brief Scrutini
This dictation app is fantastic for a busy lawyer. I recommend it highly.
Update is terrible- developer response doesn’t work
Monthly subscription now ? And the SSL function doesn’t work. I’ll be telling all my clients to change to a new app, Bye
Dictate plus
Update is worse than previous version.
Now a charge
Now a significant charge for something that was free and for my purposes the same product!
Great improvement of a great app!
I’ve been a user of DIctate and Connect for the past year or two... The new Dictate+ app seems more concise, accurate and clearer in quality, with same editing versatility. It is certainly worth $4 per month! Thanks.
Subscription model is a deal breaker
I’m a heavy user of the old Dictate+Connect app. That app was priced well at $15 for a one-time purchase. But this new Dictate app requires a subscription to get any real work done. This is not worth it given that there are competing apps. Also, this app seems to work not quite as well as the old app. Maybe that’s because I haven’t paid for a subscription to unlock the features that formerly were included. My advice is to skip this one.
