Letterly Reviews

This is the first time I’ve ever upgraded an appsumo deal, but Letterly has become so useful on my phone that I upgraded to use on my computer as well.

The app works fine, but not being able to add more audio to the existing note is a killer for me. You cannot expect me to talk 90 minutes straight with no interruptions. That is just bad design and a deal braker for me. Sorry.

I have a repetitive writing task that involves sharing feedback and then emailing it. I was duplicating and customizing a template in Apple Notes. Letterly has greatly sped up the process! Now I can record "messy" verbal thoughts on my iPhone or Safari, then apply a Custom Rewrite prompt that gets it right EVERY time. Even getting the prompt to format exactly the way I want was easy -- just a few tweaks.

The handoff between devices is seamless. The tech behind the scenes has worked flawlessly for me.

I kind of wish I'd bought 3 codes, but my older Mac can't run the newest version that includes custom rewrite templates. I REALLY appreciate that Letterly makes it super easy to switch devices in the account manager though. You aren't going to get burned if you don't like how it works on a device -- you can just switch it. If it comes back into the store, I will probably buy another code just to future proof my purchase for when I upgrade my Mac.

Overall it fits my needs. I could switch on multi speaker at the beginning of an offline recording and recorded a meeting of our old german scout guild for about 60 minutes. Different speakers were detected (3 times more than effectively there), and they sometimed spoke fragmented through each other, but when I stopped recording and uploaded it for transkription, I was impressed about what was recorded and transkripted. Then I used the meeting summary protocol feature. The result was ok, but lacking some final topic findings. Luckily there was an option for writing your own transformation prompt to advise the AI system on how to do. I wrote my own system prompt (in german) for the AI, tried and optimized it about 15 times. Now, the outcome is pretty amazing :-)
There are just 2 main points, which I miss so badly and could be improved:
1. Scrolling through the original transcription only via finger swipe up on such long transcription texts is boring. There should be implemented a better/alternative scroll methods.
2. Editing a transciption (deleting several characters und writing new text) does not stick the viewpoint on the typing, but scrolls some lines upward over an over again in most situations.
But overall it's a worthy tool.

This is a brilliant app. Easy to use and straightforward
