I hope you get some success with your app. Speaking of, how is it doing? I keep hearing about mac AppStore not being very good but how is your experience? Do you get downloads and revenue?

Thanks for your good wishes. It's not going well actually, the downloads are very few after 10 days and no paying customers. The App Store seems like a desert, even there are not many competitors in transcription, still the app impressions and page views are very few. What I see that people trying to do marketing outside the app store.

The current crop of transcription apps are truly awful. Trying yours now!

One suggestion -- the trial is difficult to use if I have a long file, because it won't let me select a file that is longer than 5 min. Maybe let me pick a longer file but only transcribe the first 5 minutes? Most people aren't going to edit their files to accommodate your trial mode.

Hey, thank you so much for trying the app. I will improve the free trial feature, especially you are right for the 5 minutes limit. I go with the most basic solution first, but I will let to pick longer files on next release. Thanks!
