Qaiser Azim (ID: 0000005ca068f0bd) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/11/2023 I like your extension but please include language changing option in popup window . I have to go to option section which is very time consuming

Aasritha Cherukupalli (ID: 000000b5389beb65) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/10/2023 the ONLY issue i have is that it can't perform grammer checks, like so.

John Cheung (ID: 00000018234d271b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/18/2023 I tried several of these extensions and I think this is the best. I love, the overall efficiency, and especially the voice substitution commands. Now I can complete the entire email just using my voice. I wrote one such app using python, with the same capability. Using python is a lot more cumbersome. I like this app a lot more. I recommend it whole heartedly. Hats off to the developers !!

Barbara Martins (ID: 0000002e471e2342) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/08/2022 Doesn't auto-capitalize the beginning of sentences, which is ridiculous. If I'm using this app for productivity, the whole point is not having to waste more time afterwards fixing the grammar.

Mariana Funes (ID: 00000098524bf871) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/01/2022 Transcribe muy pocas palabras en el idioma elegido o escribe cualquier otra palabra. También en lugar de escribir en español (idioma al que debía transcribir) lo hacía en ingles
