Changed how I work completely
Blown away by the quality. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. Works consistently across all my devices and browsers. The output quality surprised me — it actually sounds human. Best tool in this category, hands down.

Really good — a few things to improve
Does what it promises and does it well. I've tried 5 similar tools and this one is clearly the best in class. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. My only complaint is the pricing could be more competitive. Keep up the great work, team.
