What Wreally offers

• Automatic transcription — machine transcripts, typically ready in under an hour on average.
• Dictation mode — listen through headphones, slow the audio and speak what is heard to produce text.
• Manual transcription tools — slowed and looped playback, keyboard shortcuts and a text expander for common phrases.
• Foot-pedal support — control playback by pedal while typing.
• Exports — transcripts saved as doc, txt or subtitle files.
