Absolutely Terrible, Cannot Get a Reply from Customer Service
My initial few transcripts with Cockatoo were impressive. Based on that, I upgraded to the Pro version. After receiving payment, quality immediately and severely declined. Periods of 10-30 seconds are routinely omitted from transcription, rendering output useless. I then have to manually go through and transcribe the recordings myself to make up for the gaps. This renders the whole service entirely useless. I have sent multiple messages to cockatoo with details, including noting specific gaps in transcripts and time stamps. I have received no reply. I am now going to ask for a refund from the bank and escalate documentation to my State's Attorney, as this is a clear case of false advertising and failure to respond to consumers. Beware.

Dear Dr Austin-Small, Thanks for your note. Firstly - you initially emailed us on July 1st. We ask for up to 72 hours to answer all support tickets. I assure you the transcription quality is the same on our Pro plan, and in fact you have the option to use our latest model (Cockatoo v2) on the Pro plan as well. We also have a quality guarantee and can offer a full refund for customers unsatisfied with the product within 30 days. We have also responded to your inquiry in a separate email. Thank you, Cockatoo Team
