Pros

It's a great tool for editing but I'd rather edit the usual way because once you experience an issue it takes forever for them to help you.

Cons

Their Help Desk is so slow to resolve the issues you have. It takes days for them not only to fix the problem, but to answer to your question in a box on their website.

Over all bad...

Pros

It seemed easy to use, dont have any more to say

Cons

What it doesnt say is that you have to pay credit for each and every step you'll do, first you pay, in advance to transcribe, pity that you cant reclaim it then it turn out to be as bad as youtube, secondly, after editing subtitles and think its just to download, no, no, yep you have to pay credits again to download just to find out then that the text doesnt behave as expected by viewing the timecodes, some just flashes and some are out of sync, just crappy

Pros

We were full of high hopes for this. The interface initially looked inviting.

Cons

I found the platform very confusing to use. I come from video and media background with years of experience using Premiere and adobe CC. Slow servers that crash where work is easily lost. We also got billed for a full year automatically, even though we had abandoned the platform nearly a year previously. No option of refund. There are other perhaps more transparent and easy to use options out there.

Reasons for choosing Simon Says

Took a gamble it seems

Incredibly bad customer service. AVOID!

Pros

If it didn't charge you for each word, then it would have been great.

Cons

They sting you for extra fees. It's a bottomless pit. It doesn't function like other apps. You don't buy it, you pay on a word by word basis. AVOID THIS APP!

Pros

The amount of integrations. Like the plugin for FCPX.

Cons

The timecodes where a little bit off. It took me a long time to correct that manually. The user interface has less options then competetive tools.

[Happy Scribe](https://www.capterra.com/p/192368/Happy-Scribe/)

Reasons for choosing Simon Says

I did not know about the existence of such a tool. Simon Says was the first transcribe tool I have used. I was enthousiastic beceause of the FCPX integration.
