Is there any reason not to install this app. It wants name, phone number email address and zip. Anyone do this yet? Is it safe and legit?

I assume that voice notes are transcribed by humans not software? If the app is free how are they making off of this?

That's why I haven't registered it yet! I want to but I don't think I want to take the chance of giving out my number.

They ask for your phone # because the service traditionally works over the phone. I trusted them.

it takes forever to convert. and it is buggy.
I've found it converts much faster than by phone. Haven't had any issues with bugs

Yes it's done by humans, don't know how they make money

It's actually done by a room full of monkeys with typewriters. Then scanned and converted to electronic text that is then sent back to you. :D;)
