great name, even better software 🦜 Cockatoo is THE BEST. Their software = ease. It's fast and intuitive and when you have to transcribe half-hour podcasts like me... a real time-saver. With it, I can just focus on editing and curating each interview, which is the fun part. Can't recommend enough! 💪

I used the free trial on an MP4 I used the free trial on an MP4, which was a ZD Soft screen recording of a webinar. Brilliant!! With the presenter's natural speech with pauses and hesitation, I wondered where the transcription would end each sentence... Nailed it nearly 100% of the time, but I think you'd have to add in inverted commas yourself for dialogue, if it was an audio of a novel. And it was very fast in delivery...a few minutes. I'm hugely impressed.

Accurate and fast transcription, saved me tons of time I used to do transcriptions the old way many years ago. It was quite time consuming. Later I used real time transcribing with my recordings, which was helpful. This newer AI tool is way more accurate than transcribing software I used before, did quite well with different accents in Turkish, and did the job quite fast, highly recommended.

SUBSCRIPTION ISSUE I am currently a student and as part of my training, I have to write a research paper. Therefore, I need to conduct interviews and transcribe them into text. I chose to subscribe for only one month at $30, but without paying attention, I was charged $169 for a one-year subscription. I contacted customer support to get a refund and was contacted back in less than 24 hours to find a solution. I thank the Cockatoo teams for their assistance. On the other hand, the site is very intuitive and provides very good transcriptions for interviews of more than an hour. I recommend it!

Cockatoo has good translation, but.. Cockatoo has good translation capability. Compared to others it is definitely faster. However, It has not good enough UI and features, and sometimes UI not respond. Also, the support side is not good as expected. If you have a problem, you are your own. Support has no response in most cases; if they promise you a discount when you started to use it, they might change their mind. I wasn't expecting that coming.
