best one

Saltaras

I am a physician and have tried most other dictation apps. This one is the best by far. Key features are small files, direct ftp and email, simple use, easy pause-rewind-overright editing on the fly. No other app shares ALL of these features. Many thanks to the programmers who wrote pocketdictate!


dictation not going through

Houman D

Similar to some of the other user of this program, since I updated my iPhone software, I have been having problems with some of the dictation/e-mail not going through to me transcriptionist and then the resend feature not working. Hopefully they fix this problem soon which makes this software unreliable.


Can

The app works very well at recording. One of the main points of this app is to send recordings to your Mac via email so you can use them in the NCH's ExpressScribe transcription software. It simply will not send my recordings. I am able to send files from other apps that have this feature with no problem. Copying the files across with third party software like PhoneView doesn't help because the files are in a format that ExpressScribe does not understand (the emailed files are supposed to be in a format it does understand according to the documentation). Application is useless if you main way of working with recordings is on your Mac or PC. I contacted NCH product support. They responded by asking me to send them screen shots from my Mac. I explained to them that the product only runs on the iPhone and what additional information do they need. No response.


This version has all the needed features for daily use

I have used this app and the similar PC based version for some time. The previous version was quite useable but lacked a couple of key features. This version resolves those issues. Specifically, the newest version provides for automatically splitting the file in smaller parts so as to email without problems. The PC based version did this but it was left off the mobile version. Additionally, you could not easily retrieve files that were long other than re-recording them to another device - easily being the key word. . This version allows for transfer of files within iTunes. The combination of these two features in addition to the already wonderful simplicity and reliability makes it a worthwhile contender. I used the PC version for thousands of dictations. I have used Pocket dictate for several hundred on the iPhone and a couple of hundred on the iPad as well. I would recommend highly and I currently use it multiple times a day. Some in our office do not like the 'trust' one must have when the screen goes blank and times out but it keeps recording without incident. They like to look at their handheld digital recorder and see that it is working or hear the feedback from the phone in dictation system. They also do not particularly like the fact that you have to go through the swipe, enter passcode process on the iPhone once it goes into screensaver mode (although it continues to record). They want to press a button and have it immediately available - a limitation of the hardware and Apple more than anything else at this point. All in all a great app. Try it today. **Update in response to Apple's latest IOS update Sept 2012** This remains one of my most used and favorite apps. However, since the latest IOS update I have encountered some issues. Most notably, a press on the record button does not start recording. I have to press stop then record again and it will start recording. Please keep this great program up to date. I would be happy to support a paid version of this app.


Great

NCH has always made great audio software which I've been using for many years. This is no exception. Small file size, great features. I love the VOX feature and that it uploads files through email. This is my primary EVP & spy recorder. I upload the WAV files to my PC to playback. 100% perfect. Thank you!


I lost twenty minutes of a dictation

Blackjack1084

Because of stupid design. I did not realize once you hit overwrite it automAtically deletes every part of the dictation forward. And then no undo button? No warning that I am about to delete 20 minutes of audio that I spent two hours preparing for?


Don't waste your time

This app is terrible and does not work on the iPhone or the iPad. I have used express dictate software for years. Without asking they always put extra software on your computer to advertise their other products. Well this app is just a way to advertise their products. The quality of the recording is very poor and my transcription person has asked me to stop using this app cause she cannot hear. The dictations cut off and I have to go figure out what did not get sent I am deleting the app.


Was good now does not work

It worked perfectly until the iOS 7 update. Now, it does not work at all.


Needs update

Oma354

They were not prepared for the new iOS. The app no longer will send the dictations through email. Please update as soon as possible


Not working with iOS7

It was working great until I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7. Now it crashes and I can't email it to transcribe.
