Beats every other service out there for transcription accuracy, but the app is a monstrosity. Anyone used to grappling the UI of the company’s web site will be unsurprised, but this is a huge step down even from that. Essentially unusable. Super clear they never use their own app. Ugh.

Unable to even enter a credit card for payment. Need to update your UX design folks; starting from scratch.

I wanted to sign up because I saw it was a side hustle to make extra money, but it’s terrible. To get started you have to take an english exam, but there were 0 exams opened they were all “temporarily” closed.
