![]() I’m a journalist who uses recording apps a lot and saw good ratings for the iOS and Watch versions, and it indeed works well on those devices. I was hoping, however, that the Mac OS version would allow me to access my recordings for my own transcription (so far the transcription function on the iOS version has been mediocre at best). It’s a lot easier to transcribe using a Mac OS interface than having to repeatedly reach for the iPhone. The problem is, the playback interface on the Mac is nearly worthless for me. There’s a play/pause button, but nothing else. At least the iOS version has 10-seconds-forward and 10-second-reverse buttons, which are invaluable for transcribing my own recordings. It appears that the design of the Mac version is geared more for the recording side than the playback side. High quality voice recordings, lacking in productivity features I’m sure I can find a method of playback that gives me the functionality I need, but it’s too bad that the actual app doesn’t have that. ![]() I have used Just Press Record for a few years on my phone and watch. It's a MUCH better voice recording quality compared to apple's default app for my choir needs. I was hoping though to use the app on my watch in my preschool classroom for easy note taking. ![]() I liked that it transcribed notes I took on my watch so beautifully on my phone. However, the productivity pretty much ends there. I just bought the mac app thinking I would be able to use my watch to take dictaton and then get on my mac to copy and paste transcripts into my notes on my teacher documentation charts.įirst problem: there is no manual sync feature, so I can't sync prevously taken recordings on my watch/phone after switcing to icloud storage from in app storage. Secondly, when I open a file on my mac from finder, it opens in apple music first. ![]() And in the app, I have to go to the menu bar and then open to find the in app finder. I want a similar interface on the mac that I see on iphone where I can see the record button and a list of my previous recordings all together and I can jump from note to note quickly to copy transcription, rename file, etc. I dream of the day I find an app that I can dicate a note on my watch and it ends up beautifully in a transcribed note on my macbook. Today is not it, but maybe this app could get there one day. ![]()
