Worth Every Cent—And Nails Transcription Basics (With Room to Grow)
Letterly does its job really well, and that’s transcribing.
Bought Tier 1.
It’s amazing—it even supports my small language, which only has about 4 million speakers.
For the first time ever, I can dictate, take notes online in my language, and translate.
The interface is simple and direct. It’s easy and effective for translating between languages.
Things to improve:
1. Add web access or a desktop app for Windows, Mac, and Linux Ubuntu.
2. Increase transcription time from 15 minutes to at least an hour for Tier 1, and maybe (almost) unlimited for higher tiers.
3. Memory, cross-memory, learning and following-up questions.
Lost one star because there’s no web access.
I read the devs' reasons why there is no web access.
Almost every other app I’ve bought on AppSumo has an iPhone app with the same features, and it’s included in the price.
Isn’t there some kind of ‘wrapper’ that turns a web app into a desktop or mobile app?
Thank you for such great app :)

### Zuid-Afrikaans Beoordeling:
Letterly doen sy werk baie goed, en dit is om te transkribeer.
Dit is wonderlik—dit ondersteun selfs my klein taal, wat slegs omtrent 4 miljoen sprekers het.
Vir die eerste keer ooit kan ek dinge inspreek, notas aanlyn neem in my eie taal, en ook vertaal.
Die koppelvlak is reguit en doeltreffend. Dit maak om tussen tale te vertaal maklik en effektief.
Twee dinge wat verbeter kan word:
1. Voeg webtoegang of ’n tafelrekenaarprogram vir Windows, Mac en Linux Ubuntu by.
2. Verhoog die transkripsie tyd van 15 minute na ten minste een uur vir Tier 1, en miskien (byna) onbeperk vir hoër vlakke.
Een ster verlore omdat daar geen webkoppelvlak is nie.
Is daar nie so iets as ’n ‘omhulsel’ wat ’n webprogram in ’n tafelrekenaar- of selfoonprogram omskep nie?
Byna elke ander program wat ek op AppSumo gekoop het, het ’n mobiel programma vir die iPhone, sonder ekstra koste, met dieselfde funksies.

May 14, 2025Hi! Thank you so much for the constructive feedback. Regarding the points you mentioned for improvement:
1. We do have a web version at web.letterly.app, and there’s also a native Mac version.
2. Yes, we will be increasing the transcription time soon, and you’ll be able to make longer recordings.
3. Memory is an interesting area for development, we’ll think about it — thanks!
As for the star you deducted, I understand now — it’s because Tier 1 only includes 1 device and doesn’t have web access if you already have a mobile access. Unfortunately, we can’t change this due to the pricing structure on AppSumo. However, we don’t have any restrictions on total minutes, so you can record any number of 15-minute notes (and soon, longer ones).
