What our users say

Some of the feedback from people who use WhisperScript for their work.

Jason A.

Jason A.

Post-grad Law Student

"I've enrolled for 4 months of night school as a post-graduate law student. Lectures will run over 4 hours every weeknight, so I intend to record all the sessions and transcribe the recordings into notes. That works out to about 350 hours of note-taking I can leave to WhisperScript."
