Aiko for Positive User Reviews

IncredibleExcellent transcription tool, I would pay money for access to it.Version: 1.2.0

Works with 8 GB of RAM—no need for 16 GigsI cannot tell how it would perform with 16 GB's, but even with 8, it was able to transcribe speech where I mixed English words with a language spoken by less than 10 million natives. It is somewhat slow with transcribing audio files (at least on 8 GB's) but the luxury to not have to use the f— cloud, and sell your private life out AND pay for it via the API fee (0.5¢/~700 words) is the cherry on the cake. Works with all sorts of file formats, you drag it, drop it, and that's about it; you get a transcript..Version: 1.0.3

Great!This is a great app, probably the best voice to text app. The transcription is accurate even with strong accents, and it helps me a lot, although the size of the app is a bit large (because it’s running 100% locally I think).Version: 1.4.0

SuperbThis is a superb app. I have been using it to transcript webinars and recorded videos of meetings from iPhones. The .srt files created seem to work fine and I have been using Handbrkae to add them to the final conveted videos. There are a few errors, but these are usually real names or technical details, easy to edit the .srt file to fix them. A 'search & replace' works well as most errors are consistent. All in all - a life saver!.Version: 1.5.2

Transcribes my therapy recordingsDoes an amazing job with difficult content and often contorted voices..Version: 1.5.3

Amazing appAbsolutely amazing. I downloaded an 8 minute podcast of one person speaking in a measured way. The speaker had a light Irish accent. After Aiko transcribed it it looks perfect. I've skimmed through and haven't yet spotted any obvious errors. Now I can go ahead and make notes on what was said without endless Pause-Play-Rewind actions to catch it. Thank you to the app creator..Version: 1.0.1

A very robust piece of codeThank you very much for providing AIKO. I have compared it with MacWhisper and it is better at separating the speech of different speakers. The transcription accuracy is also better. I have written some php/javascript to take the transcription text with the timings to assign different speakers to the each of the phrases. Not many phrases have needed to be split into two speakers. What I must also do is provide a way of doing bulk changes of words or phrases in the transcription but that won't be too difficult to do. By the way I have used it on the recordings of two zoom meetings. Once again thank you very much..Version: 1.5.3

ImpressiveCurious, will you charge the app in the future?.Version: 1.0.2

It’s Actually Free and Works great!This is what I’ve been looking for. It took me weeks to sort through all the stupid transcription apps to find this one. Highly recommend. It can both transcribe live or a audio file. Thank you!.Version: 1.4.0

It works extremely wellI’m very impressed with the app! It works really well and most of all it’s free. Highly recommend!.Version: 1.5.2

Absolutely Perfect UtilityThe app is super straightforward and does exactly what I’ve always needed. The transcripts it generates are typically extremely accurate, and the ability to export to lots of different kinds of files is really helpful and makes this tool even more versatile. My only complaint is that I can’t tip the developer for making my life so much easier with this app..Version: 1.0.3

Need more paramsIt results in Traditional Chinese when I provide a Chinese input. I want to set the prompt so it can return Simplified Chinese. Where can I set the parameter "prompt", one of the parameters of whisper?.Version: 1.3.1

Amazing AppThis developer is awesome, being able to do ai transcription for free locally is a big gift to the world. This app saved my life when I had exported over 70 videos and needed to attach subtitles to the folder, this software was so helpful..Version: 1.4.0

Amazing App, great accuracyThis app is amazing and works really well, I converted some audio from a video to text, it did a great job with spelling, punctuaction and text acuracy. Simply amazing app and wonderful job by the devloper. Thank you for keeping this app free and also off the cloud. Nice to have some alternatives to whats out there..Version: 1.2.0

Good enoughNot perfect but immensely useful, and more importantly, free. I pay for apps so I’m not one of those people..Version: 1.5.3

Excellent Work!!!This app is a life-saver! It comes at a weighty 2gb+ size but mehhnn it accomplishes so much and all for free? Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.Version: 1.0.5

How????Listen, I don’t ever take the time wrote reviews but somehow this app has been the best audio transcription app out there, at least for what I use it for, which has been for getting the lyrics from audio stems. I have tried so many apps and services both paid and free and at best even the top paid ones had about 60% accuracy. With this app I used it on 25 vocal tracks with 90-95% accuracy and this service is free?! What?! Thank you to whoever made this you truly rock!.Version: 1.0.1

Great transcription, and with iOS shortcuts supportReally accurate transcription, and the app supports iOS shortcuts so it can be automated. Many thanks to the developer. Now I can dictate notes while driving, and my shortcut adds the text to my Notion database..Version: 1.2.0

Great appAnd I just hope the large model can be available.Version: 1.2.0

Great APP and it;s freeThis App is amazing and just helped me pass my course. I had a bunch of video lectures that i wanted to gerneate notes out of and this App, trnascibed the whole video series for me so I dont have to type everything out. It does consumes a lot of power and Memory and my macbook became quite hot but other than that it did what it was supposed to do and hopefully it can be better optimized in the future..Version: 1.5.2

Excellent.Simple and effective. Can covert to srt with one click. Almost near perfect transcription - Only things missed were excessive cross-talk, obscure slang, and people's names..Version: 1.0.3

Excellent softwareConsidering how hard it is to do what this software actually does and you do have some errors, this is excellent software and does a great job. Thank you for a great product and for making it available for free..Version: 1.3.0

Thank you!Basic, simple, free--and exactly what I need! This app does not have a lot of bells and whistles, but it's perfect for just needing to get transcription from any audio or video file. I'm very thankful for this app!.Version: 1.2.0

Thank You!GREAT app for productivity and to effectively learn. this app is the the perfect utility for the ChatGPT app those two apps are complementing each other Aiko to intelligently transcribe and ChatGPT to organize/summarize into keynotes. very GOOD app thank you..Version: 1.2.0

Aiko: existsJust existing gets this app 5 stars right now. Not to take anything away from this app - it is a simple, serviceable stopgap until Apple finally gets serious about system-wide transcribing and captioning. (Google is so far ahead of Apple right now, it is shameful.) A 50 second voice recording I tested took about 20 seconds to transcribe on my M1 Pro with 16GB..Version: 1.5.3

BrilliantRecorded and shared. Works really well.Version: 1.2.0

Easy to useEasy to use.Version: 1.3.0

Super good appWorks extremely reliably for dictating notes. And exporting to a new note is just 3-4 taps, so super easy. Having everything on device gives a lot of piece of mind on the privacy front..Version: 1.4.0

Amazing app!Long time was looking for simple voice recording to text functionality. The fact is that the OpenAI is by far the best model for voice recognition. 99.9% works for me. Hope app developers will leave the simplicity and clean UI for next versions and will not overcomplicate the app..Version: 1.4.0

Superior transcriptions with OpenAI’s WhisperThe Aiko app impressed me. It uses Whisper and surpasses other apps like Otter, which I have used for several years. Aiko provided highly accurate transcriptions, even in challenging audio conditions. I really liked that it captured technical terms, acronyms, and speech nuances. I also liked that it parsed the text rather than providing a hard-to-read massive text block. Congrats to the app developer for a great job!.Version: 1.1.0

Would be awesome to have the large model on itAmazing gift to us from Shindre. This basically replaces the need for court reporter and translators..Version: 1.5.3

Simply superbThis app (using OpenAI Whisper) is simple, elegant, effective - and free. The perfect combination. Transcription and translation in English from 100 languages, great accuracy and excellent export options. A labour of love … thanks Sindre!.Version: 1.2.0

FantasticLike all his other projects. I wished his praise was even higher on how thoughtful small user experience details are. Nothing but love and thankfulness for the generous output of work. A+.Version: 1.2.0

BrilliantI love the application. It is exactly what I need. The quality of translations are exceptional. I'm not sure why certain endings are added like: Thank you, for example. But I'm sure there will be more settings to regulate it soon. Well done to the developer and thank you..Version: 1.5.3

Perfect transcriptionYes, this is a massive app. No, it's not realtime. But the transcription quality is astoundingly good…possibly even the best possible, given it's Whisper under the hood. And it's FREE. Thank you Sindre! This is wonderful. Sneaky feature request: ability to export audio that was recorded..Version: 1.3.0

Exactly what I neededThis app is great, thanks to the developer for a pretty awesome implementation!.Version: 1.2.0

Works exceptionally well and it's freeIt's simple and works brilliantly, but it could offer a bit more flexibility in choosing the model. I find the normal model works perfectly for me, but Aiko only includes the large model, so transcriptions take longer than necessary. However, since it's free, there's no way I can downvote it. Thanks for the great app!.Version: 1.5.3

Nice, but could be better.I want to love this, but every time my screen closes/sleeps during a transcription event, all progress is lost. I appreciate what this app makes possible, but long-term utility/functionality is lost due to such issues..Version: 1.0.5

Great appSome bugs here and there, not perfect transcriptions. All in all this does an amazing job for no cost! It has deciphered hours of audio for me and made my dictated notes searchable. Keep up the great work!.Version: 1.3.0

This is BrilliantJust dragged an mp3 file from the music folder. This is a great way of getting the lyrics from a song, as well as many of the other things that it will be able to do..Version: 1.2.0

Pretty great as v1!Not sure why I would need to use it, but maybe I will. Definetly pushing your mac on the next level :D I tried to load an ATP podcast episode, and there are some feedback (hope the whisper API allows that): 1. Identify voices. If this is a podcast, you want to know who is talking. I mean just differenciate one person from another. Would be great also just to name the voices as well. 2. Ability to play the sentance from the audio, so if the text looks weird, you can actually listen what have been said. 3. Show timestamps on the UI..Version: 1.0.2

So useful! Works flawlesslyI am a medical resident and this app’s integration with Siri Shortcuts makes it possible for us to process sensitive information on-device and integrate it with our existing workflow!.Version: 1.5.1

Really impressiveHey there! I just wanted to say that I gave the Chinese and English voice input a try and it was really impressive. As someone with a heavy Asian accent when speaking English, I was really impressed that Aiko was able to transcribe everything perfectly. And let me tell you, processing a 200MB video file usually takes forever, but Aiko does it in just around 30 seconds! Amazing, right? It would be even more perfect if Chinese could have formatting options similar to those in English.👻👻👻.Version: 1.0.1

Love this app for transcribing interviewsThe whisper.ai framework is a game changer for transcriptions and this app is simple, private, and accurate. It take a bit of time to do the transcription, but it’s worth it! The number of errors we need to manually change is sooo much fewer than older methods..Version: 1.3.0

Good APPSlow but reasonable transcription..Version: 1.3.0

Saved me so much timeOmg I used this for a school assignment and althought it takes so long for the app to run, dont underestimate transcribing! I did one on my own and it took me so long. This app was amazing, you could easily just let it run in the background while doing other things. Amazing application!!.Version: 1.3.1

Great qualityThanks for this app, works really well, love that it’s on-device.Version: 1.0.3

So perfect ! thank you.So love large model! It would be great if there was also a large model on the iphone..Version: 1.5.0

The answer to my prayersI often have to record something on my phone, then, transcribe it, I was using a different service for this, but that cost money. Every time I was using the transcriptions, and it took a while to come back. This is wonderful, it can do it on device, I knew something like this was going to come out when I saw the whisper model last year, but back, then it could only run on the computer, and this is so much better. I have both versions, the one for my Mac, and one for my phone, and they both are wonderful, one for when I’m sitting down and one for when I’m on the go..Version: 1.0.5

A wonderful toolHey there! I just want to that this is really a wonderful tool and thank you! I think this will save me a lot of time making conference record in the future..Version: 1.5.2

I'm shocked at how well it works.I obtained usable transcripts from a recording with many people talking at multiple volumes. Was it flawless? No. But it was incredibly good and better than I could possible do transcribing it manually. I can't seem to include the time stamps when saving the transcript. That would be a great improvement..Version: 1.2.0

Makes writing emails so much easier!I've experienced heavy email fatigue recently and have honestly been sick of typing email after email. With Aiko, I can transcribe my emails, do a quick edit, and send them off. So far, so good!!.Version: 1.2.0

5 stars for free and functional!Most transcription apps are expensive. This is free. Selecting the correct language rather than using auto detect seems to help. Although it produces some redundancies when I upload long voice memos, using ChatGPT, copy and paste to, is a great way to clean things up. Thanks for creating this app and making it free.Version: 1.5.3

Works really wellIt converts speech to writing really accurately. Only quibble is the controls aren't too intuitive at first and there's no instructions. And to start a clean page you need to close the app down properly..Version: 1.1.0

All I can say is, WOW?Also amazing, terrific, wonderful! I got this when I first saw it and thought this would be great for transcibing my wife's interviews. The first transcriots was iffy. But the 2nd was spot on. and the next and the next. Yes, this is a terrific service app. Saves her hours of sitting and transcribing, and she's an excellent typist. Thanks for this app. It is a WOW!.Version: 1.2.0

Excellent!Unlike a bunch of other transcription apps, Aiko is incredibly accurate. This is at the cost of speed, but life is all about trade-offs. I use Aiko multiple times per day to transcribe lectures, podcasts, and videos..Version: 1.2.0

Excellent!Simple and straight forward. It works. Also, check out his other apps! Very useful!.Version: 1.2.0

One of the best transcriptions and its free!It is extremly accurate even with bad recordings. Things to be awear of is it takes a ton of power and time to run. It seperates sentences as paragraphs so you will have to eddit into a cohesive text file once your done but it is amazing overall..Version: 1.0.3

Awesome and perfect.Works great. Just follow directions and don’t leave the page till it’s complete. From there you can share it in many different formats. Highly recommended..Version: 1.2.0

Impressive!Mindboggling to talk fast into my phone in German and find a perfect English translation text seconds later - without needing to connect to any server.Version: 1.5.0

Shortcuts Support Needs A Closer LookApp is nearly perfect and does all functions as expected with the exception of the Apple Shortcuts Action. I submitted feedback to the developer and will update my review after they resolve the issue..Version: 1.4.0

Wow! Amazing!!This app is huge, and uses a lot of RAM to run, but it seems to do a pretty good job (although it doesn't add much punctuation), and it's free. It also works completely offline, which is great if you're dealing with confidential materials..Version: 1.0.2

Easy to use, No nonsense transcription AppI have been using Aiko for about 1 week now. Accuracy makes up for the slow transcription speed. It even did a great job at transcribing a 1 hour meeting with three people (accuracy appx. 90%). I prefer accuracy to speed, though wish it could run in background mode so I can do other work on the iPad dur8ng transcription. Would also be good if it had the option to quickly select predefined speakers. Great app and keep up the great work! 👍🙏.Version: 1.2.0

PerfectWorks as advertised..Version: 1.5.3

Transcribing right on your phoneWhisper AI is quite good at transcribing audio. The developers chosen the media model. It would be nice if we could have maybe been able to select the smaller or larger which will affect the speed but the accuracy at the same time. However, being able to select it or drop or locate an MP3 file from files on your iPhone and have it described right there is amazing and the fact that he's done it just for free means we should leave him review. This review was transcribed by the app itself. ⬆️ The above is unedited straight out of the app. Took 56 seconds. Made some mistakes, media instead of medium. Describe instead of transcribe..Version: 1.0.3

Fantastic AppThis is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for making this app accessible for everyone without adding a subscription. Are there any plans to update it with whisper v3?.Version: 1.4.0

Incredibly usefulUsing this app saved hours of work this week. It’s incredibly accurate - more than anything I’ve seen given how easy it is use. Thank you for making this. I would very much like this app to continue to exist. Is there a way to support its existence?.Version: 1.2.0

Works vey well.I realy admire your free app. Its actually working faster than using google collaboratory route. Thank you. Keep up the good work. I am sure you will find employment within openai with your skills..Version: 1.3.1

Too good!! (I wrote this entire review using it)I have sensitive documents I need transcribed, and this is the only app that doesn't Send anything to a third party server. Not only that, but the accuracy and the consistent updates are just too good. I use it on a computer with no Internet access, it works all locally!.Version: 1.5.2

Very good for free!Amazing app considering it's free. I have hundreds of hours of recordings going back over the years and I can't afford even the cheapest paid transcription services online. Thank you very much to the dev for this..Version: 1.2.0

Thank you!Really appreciate your excellent free apps. Being able to transcribe important conversations (with permission of course) comes in so handy since my memory isn’t what it used to be! While I wish it tracked different speakers and retained recordings automatically so transcriptions don’t get lost if interrupted, I have realistic expectations of a free app and appreciate all that it does do!!!.Version: 1.2.0

Seamless!The very first time I used it it worked seamlessly! I uploaded a 20 minute interview and it captured everything in minutes. I will try it with a much longer recording and see if it's still as great..Version: 1.2.0

So far so good!I'm an author looking for an alternate to Dragon Transcription from Nuance, and so far I like what I see! I wish there was a way to include words I've grown accustomed to dictating like Open Quote, Close Quote, New Line and a few others. When these get added/updated, five stars. Until then, great app. Keep up the good work!.Version: 1.0.4

This is an amazing startThis app gets five stars because it does a better job than many paid apps. Thanks to the developer. My wishlist: - For CMD c to only copy highlighted text instead of the entire transcription - Better performance (although it isn't bad) - The ability to invoke the app directly from the share sheet.Version: 1.0.3

Amazing miracle tool that only lacks in certain featuresIt does what it says in the description so well it's a proven miracle tool for my coworkers and I. My only suggestion is to add certain features, for example: - A queue so I don't have to keep manually adding new files to process - A notification system to let me know when the file is done. Other than that it's honestly perfect. Thank you so much!!!!!.Version: 1.0.3

Mind BlowingI can't thank the developer enough for this app. I'm using it for the first time right now and inputting the audio from a class which was just absolutely confusing. I wanted to revisit what the lecturer was talking about later but knew I wouldn't get around to actually listening to the recording, but just dragged and dropped it into Aiko and it's transcribed the whole thing. Don't get me wrong, there's still mistakes here and there, but it's unlike anything I've seen before. It's not complete garbage like Apple's native dictate, Google Docs dictate or Microsoft Word Dictate, it actually knows what's going on - and it does a pretty good job with punctuation too. I just hope it remains like this. I will be so sad if they flip to a subscription model of the app..Version: 1.2.0

The Best AppDeeply grateful for you taking time to create such a amazing app..Version: 1.4.0

Wow!This app transcribe nearly accurately for my voice memos. I haven’t tried to use other app because ida either complicated or I have to pay for it. Thank you so much! R.Version: 1.2.0

Absolutely brilliant!Works incredibly well, at least for me. I tried it in English and German, and it is so amazing to see how well it does the interpunctuation..Version: 1.1.0
