SpeakSense Free vs Premium: What the Subscription Adds
Free: record, transcribe, import, edit, search, share, categories, storage tools, iCloud backup. Premium (monthly or yearly subscription): transcript translation with bilingual export, live translation while recording, pro themes, and speaker identification where offered.
The problem
You want to be sure the basic job, turning speech into text, doesn’t get locked behind a counter or paywall halfway through a meeting.
