User friendly, efficient and gets the job done! A very useful tool for all those who are not natural note takers!
This has got to be the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to create transcriptions. This makes writing meeting minutes so much easier. A big fan!
The program is extremely user friendly right out of the gate, it transcribes correctly at 80%, extremely pleased.
We've transcribed six hour-long interviews and go-transcribe works a treat. not 100% by any means, but good enough to save us days of manual transcription.
I used Go Transcribe to make the initial transcription and it was much easier. I'll certainly recommend it and use it again.
This service saves me a ton of time, and for the price the accuracy is really good. I sent a message to the support team and they replied really quickly.
