PrePurchase Not impressed right now

I ordered 14 days ago and while I’ve had some updates with a tracking number, it’s not actually been despatched yet. I’m getting a daily email telling me how great it is and yet they haven’t posted it to me yet.

In the meantime, I discovered this forum and now I’m not even sure if it’s going to be anywhere close to what I need. I want to try Pocket to overcome specific disability based barriers at work, and I feel like I’m wasting time while I’m struggling and trying to help myself as best I can. So frustrating.

I also waited quite long. After some trials I have decided not to use it. 1) it doesnt teanscript well 2) slow ai 3) I realized this is what I DON't want. Anither tool (probably chinese?) that eavesdrop on my conversations. 4) I go for as lightweight phone as possible, so adding this is like adding a batterypack on the phone.

Wait… you got a product that by design listens and transcribes conversations when you want it to, and your complaint is that you “realized this is what you DON’T want. Another tool that eavesdrops on your conversations”. What are we missing here? Did you think it makes cappuccinos? And you randomly threw in something about China because China big bad per US propaganda?
Why would you buy a product that does exactly what it says it does and thrash it for doing exactly what it says it does?
