    Shepit

    N/AN/AShepit converts speech to text in any app on a Mac. It has no separate dictation window and no copy-and-paste step. The user holds a hotkey, speaks, and releases it, and the text appears at the cursor in apps such as editors, browsers, Slack, terminals, email, Notion, integrated development environments (IDEs), and internal tools. The speech is transcribed and then cleaned up automatically: filler words, false starts, and repeated phrases are removed and punctuation is corrected, so the…

    NCH Software
    It has a free trial, which is very nice if someone just needs temporary access to use, and it's not an expensive program overall. It may not be the most robust program available, but it gets the job done at a good price point. It might not be the best if you need something that allows transcriptionists to collaborate (i.e., working on the same file at the same time).

    Cons
    NCH Software
    • Interface - The look and feel of the software is quite dated and could use a refresh
    • Enhancing audio - When we need to manipulate an audio file to try to enhance it (amplifying, for example), we have to use another program to do so
    • Hotkeys - Setting up hotkeys may not be as intuitive for new users as would be ideal

    Return on Investment
    NCH Software
    • Very few 'inaudibles' (spots where we're unable to decipher what was said)
    • Transcribing allows analysts to read scripts rather than listen to audio files, which saves time and money
    • Low cost of software
