Intuitive interface. Very affordable price for the ad-free version > > **Cons**: so far, nothing. As for the software itself, there are no notable disadvantages. Maybe the only issue is that it could have been marketed better. I found it after investing considerable time and effort. > > Speech to text programs that I’ve worked with range from bad to mediocre, but LilySpeech is a powerful tool. It works really fast, is very accurate, and easy to use. The dictation is almost instant, and I was genuinely surprised for how well it understands how people naturally speak with a bit of background noise. The functionality of the software is effortless which is also a bonus. It runs smoothly in the background without slowing down my computer. Also, with the ability to directly use the program wirting to any text field, I get so much more time when drafting emails, taking notes or working on documents. ----- ### "So bad, I challenge you to try it" — 1.0/5 > **Cory** | *15 June 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It cost nothing. There's literally nothing else good about this app. I have to keep typing to meet the minimum characters > > **Cons**: Extremely poor word recognition. Clumsy correction protocol. No ability to train. Picks up soft ambient noises from far away, including other people talking > > I'm looking for a new voice to text for simple Word documents. I saw great reviews for LliySpeech and tried it - this might be the worst app I've used in the past several months as I shop for a new service. The inability to transcribe a simple sentence without complex words was truly astounding. And to correct those mistakes you have to go through a cumbersome process word by word without voice direction. Sometimes, the transcribes sentence was so nonsensical I couldn't even tell what I was trying to say. There's no flow with this app, you spend so much time correcting its mistakes you can't ever 'get in the zone'. Try it - you'll see. I have to assume the great reviews for this app are purchased ----- ### "Only Good Words For LilySpeech" — 4.0/5 > **Brian** | *10 May 2022* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to install, user friendly, accurate and fairly quick to translate the speech to the dialog box. It has a preview feature and several options for more complex transcription assignments. And both times I trached out for tech support, their reps were patient, professional but friendly at the same time. 4 \*\*\*\*s. > > **Cons**: It is a little slow to load and I had some trouble finding the LilySpeech icon one it opened. Once the LilySpeech download window not only never downloaded but never vacated my screen no matter what I did, until I finally uninstalled it. But that was a singular event and never came close to recurring. > > There were a few glitches over the years but in the long run LilySpeech worked smoothly and efficiently - and still does. I am very pleased with this item. ----- ### "This is Amazing" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *05 May 2023* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was in the middle of writing something and getting tired of typing so I just Googled something and boom found this utility. I cannot believe how easy and convenient it is and how much Easier it makes my life. In fact I'm typing this review after having Installed this about 3 minutes ago. It's great\!In fact it's so intuitive I simply hit tab and it went to the next block with no effort. I am really amazed at how great this is. > > **Cons**: I can't find any cons but since it wants me to type more than 40 characters I'm adding this > > Overall my experience is great ----- ### "Easy to use, free, works well\!" — 5.0/5 > **April** | *26 March 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Free (with paid option) Accurate Easy to use > > **Cons**: Not really sure. It works well, it occasionally crashes but that's most apps for you\! ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/203131/lilyspeech?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/203131/lilyspeech) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
