Letterly Reviews

I have tried a few "record meetings and summarise it later" apps, both physical and software built-in or as "plugins". I spend most of my life on Zoom, Teams, or Discord and find things like Otter and Zoom AI ok, and Plaud is great as a physical option, but Letterly is the best yet. It is not good at "know who is talking" as it happens, and hence you get a huge "wall of text" as it transcribes, but it transcribes very well, and as soon as you use any of the summary options, it gets it 90%+ right as to who was talking.

Last week, I went beyond work (all Christmas and no Lego makes Nic bored) and tested several options on a D&D session (Forge DTT) and a string of Among us games. Letterly gave us the best summaries.

Letterly est tout simplement le meilleur !
Je parle français et je dois dire que les transcriptions sont excellentes, ainsi que les traductions et toutes les options et possibilités que Letterly offrent pour modifier votre texte et le structurer. Vraiment un bon choix !

I tested it several times. Doesn't record my voice after several minutes. It runs and animates so it seems to working and capturing my voice. But after my voice ends, it shows only a few mins of talks, not the full version. Don't know why it happens. Also sometimes it detects Hindi language instead of Bengali. And there are many languages in the dropdown menu but not Bengali.

I had been using letterly for a little while - Known to me as Jeremy (he's my journal you see) frankly I am sure there is much more I could and should be using it for - still much to learn

Letterly is an amazing app. One of my favorite things about it is that if you use it on a Mac, you can have a floating microphone bar where you can speak directly into your email or any other text program, including directly into an AI. It has some of the cleanest transcribing I've ever seen, and it's extremely easy to do a touch up so that it removes all of your filled pauses like ums and uhs, does AI rewrites, and cleans up formatting.

You can talk and it will make you a list. You can talk and it will give you prose. It has a huge amount of options, and I really think this is extremely useful, especially for someone like me who isn't always motivated to sit and type into a keyboard, but just wants to get my thoughts out and make them into prose quickly.

I use it while I'm driving. I use it while I'm cooking. I use it basically anytime I want to be thinking aloud, but have a hands-free experience, and it gives me extraordinarily useful text.

The only issue I've had with Letterly so far is that if you push the button to record and you don't talk and then you stop it, it will generate random text that you didn't say. I'm not sure that it's a big problem because I just end up deleting those, but it's just the only thing I've noticed so far that doesn't quite make sense.
