I bought three codes of this deal about a month ago. I was hesitant to recommend it at the time, but that has changed with the recent "Major Update".

Until this week, I used the free 300 minutes per month that Microsoft supplies with an Office 365 subscription. That feature is incredibly fast (< 1 minute for 15 minutes of audio), and the quality of the transcription is amazing. Therefore it was difficult to compare and wholeheartedly recommend a service like Scribbbe.

The quality of the transcription is very good. Not perfect, out there with other very good AI services. Earlier this month, the interface was too simple to be effective, and the text would be outputted in a single block, even with interpunction on. This would make editing the text (something that I always do also in Word) a big job. What's more, it made it difficult to judge where the development is heading.

However, this weekend the team from Scribbbe send me an email telling me about the new "Major update". The interface is miles ahead of where it was earlier this month. Still very minimalist, but it works for me. Text is no longer parsed into one big block but neatly into paragraphs along with Timecode and Speaker information. I can immediately edit my text in the browser with my favourite Grammar checker. Also, I can export the edited text in a bunch of formats, including various captioning formats. And the time, it took to transcribe my 15 minute file, was brought back to "only" 7 minutes. Still longer than Microsoft but very workable.

But perhaps the most important part of this update is that the team demonstrated that they have the capacity and momentum to develop the tool into something that I will use on a daily basis.

So I've decided to keep all my codes and am excited to see where this project is going.
