Active Voice! App Reviews

The speak function does not work after youve translated your speech to text.

The recording feature works well but the translations from Cantonese to English needs lots of improvements

The English to Spanish translation was not translated accurately. Do not buy.

But still needs a lot of improvements!

Love the ease of being able to switch between multiple languages.

Its an awesome app! It would be nice to have Filipino on the talking part though...

Useful highly recommended

Good for note taking and for transcribing speeches! Would be nice if punctuation is put into the text.

Much better than Siri for dictation. Have not managed to create typos or mistaken words at all! Siri on the other hand continuously screws up what I say, is impatient and quits before Im done, and most annoying of all, quitting and freezing after speaking 20 words or less! Use this app if you need to write any notes or letters at all. Its fantastic and I hope it stays that way.

I just downloaded the voice app it is fast and easy to use .. Love it . Thank you

If anyone has problems with it, just remember to speak clearly and enunciate everything properly. It will ignore sounds that it doesnt recognize as words. I wouldnt rely on it as a translator, but its decent for at least writing down what youve said to it. I also thought it was interesting how you had to say your grammar out loud, aka "comma" and "question mark." Also, how in the AMERICAN accent, "full-stop" creates a period but in BRITISH accent "period" writes down the actual word. Psst: although a Canadian accent is very close to an American one, and theres no real need for a second language filter thing, itd be cool to have the flags mixed at least.

This is the best app I have on my iPhone. My 88 year old mother who is deaf can communicate with me by reading the screen. Thank you!

Translating speech to text is fairly accurate and fast (American English) but overall this is a very barebones app. Curse words (I had to try) are sta**ed which is silly but not a deal break by any stretch. The app lets you send text to e-mail, SMS or iMessage and Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp, but there is no way to easily save your text other than copying and pasting it into a Notes.app note or another text document. When the app is closed the recorded text is deleted so you cant take a break and continue where you left off. Built in iOS dictation offers more features than this app and I wouldnt pay money for this product (it was a free promotion when I obtained it).

I found this a very good app, makes life a little easier for me. I have tried a few other apps but was very disappointed..

This is an excellent app. For those who want to really dictate voice onto their iPhone or iPad, this is the app that you need. I have been using Dragon dictate for many years on the desktop and this is every bit as good in terms of quality even though youre speaking into your iPhone. If you are looking for voice dictation to get you past the frustrations of Siri, this is the app. (Incidentally, I dictated this entire review without one edit) .

It doesnt record everything exactly! Not worth the 11$ 4/5 (opinion)

Its ok something I wouldnt rely on

Love the ease of use! Amazing app

Really great app. I can easily make lists of things to pack for a trip or for grocery shipping --faster than using those apps that are tailored for those things. Being able to speak thoughts into my phone at night instead of turning on the light and writing it down is also useful. Multiple options on where/how to use the note afterwards too. Well done
