The automatic conversion generated a pretty decent baseline, and I liked the ergonomics of the editor that allows you to polish the transcript while listening to the audio in sync.

Reliable and quick with nice features for exports and review. I was super pleased with the results and quality. It wasn't perfect, but I was dealing with recordings that weren't particularly high quality themselves.
