Three steps, zero friction
From speaking to sharing in under a minute
01
Capture
Tap record, or import an existing audio or video file. Pick the language you’re speaking.
02
Read & refine
Watch the text appear live, then edit, add punctuation, translate, or generate a summary.
03
Save or share
Copy, share, or save to history — synced to iCloud across your iPhone and iPad.
Privacy first, always
Your voice stays on your device.
Recordings and imported files are transcribed locally. We don't run a transcription server, and your audio never gets uploaded for processing. No account to create, no sign-in, no tracking of what you say.
- ✓On-device speech recognition, even without a network connection
- ✓Your files stay in your library — nothing is sent to our servers
- ✓Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock for your saved notes
One exception: the optional AI Summary feature sends the transcript text — never the audio — to an AI provider. It isn’t used to train models or stored after the summary is generated. Analytics were removed from the app; only anonymous crash diagnostics remain.

Frequently asked questions
Is transcription really free?
Yes. Real-time voice-to-text has no recording time limit and costs nothing, with no account or sign-in. Premium adds unlimited file import, saved history with iCloud sync, translation, AI summaries, speaker identification, audio saving and the app lock — you can try all of it free for 3 days.
Do my recordings or files leave my device?
No. Speech recognition and file transcription happen on your device and your audio is never uploaded. Saved transcripts can optionally sync through your own iCloud account. The only exception is the optional AI Summary feature, which sends the transcript text (not the audio) to an AI provider for processing; it is not stored or used for training.
Which languages are supported?
Speech recognition covers 40+ languages including English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean and more — you can add additional dictation languages in iOS Settings. Translation supports 100+ language pairs, and the app interface is localized into 33 languages.
Which devices and iOS versions work?
The app runs on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with iOS 15.0 or later, and on Apple silicon Macs. Some newer features depend on the system version: Apple’s on-device translation is used on iOS 18+, speaker identification requires iOS 17+, and the newest speech engine is available on iOS 26+ with a full fallback for older systems.
What file formats can I import?
Common audio and video containers such as MP3, M4A and WAV are supported. After transcription you can play the file back, change playback speed, edit the result, identify speakers, copy, share or save it to your history.
How does the free trial work, and can I pay once?
Start the 3-day trial to unlock everything; you won’t be charged if you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. If you dislike subscriptions, choose Lifetime — a single payment, no renewal and nothing to cancel. Purchases and cancellations are managed in your App Store account settings.
Say it once. Keep it forever.
