Juan van Wyk (ID: 00000015087a9e14) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/08/2023 What a joke. Not only do I subscribe and it doesn't work, I can't even unsubscribe since the system doesn't recognize my email. If this payment goes off tomorrow I will be reporting you to Stripe.

Florian Rücker (ID: 000000842e4c68ef) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 Got the plugin to do a simple job. Extract the transcript (that I can access easily anyway!) in a more convenient way. It makes you pay for this incredibly simple job (you get 1 per day for free, ok. So 1 star at least, there you go). Sorry, not ok. Found another plugin. Wasted time though.

Zachare Sylvestre (ID: 00000095dc53eff4) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/05/2023 Subscribed, and it didn't send me an email. Finally figured out that you just have to put in the email in the options. However, now I can't delete or cancel my subscription. Fortunately, I used a card that I can pause payments pretty easily. Make an option to cancel your subscription.

soundmoney 4all (ID: 00000063c96753e2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/28/2023 Works perfectly! This is helping so much for my class! Now I don't have to watch terrible videos with terrible narrating. Thank you for creating this extension! Saved my life and my ears!
