Accessibility Comments

The app has unlabeled buttons, but once you know them, you can find your way around. The "Sparkle" button is the button you can use to have the AI transform your text. "Gearshape" is "Settings", etc. i have let the developer know about these issues and more, feel free to report issues as well so that they can prioritize them.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them.

Other Comments

Very useful for quickly getting transcriptions of long videos. Also, super useful for noting down your thoughts on the go, for example if you are processing something that a friend said, developing an outline for an article, journaling, etc. Totally recommend.
