Transcribe turns recordings into searchable transcripts, summaries and action items without ever uploading them. It's built for people who can't or won't send recordings to a server: journalists, researchers, students, lawyers, therapists and managers.

// what it does

RECORD OR IMPORT

  • Record with pause and resume, markers and a live transcript
  • Keeps recording with the screen locked, with a Live Activity and Lock Screen controls
  • Import audio or video from Files, Photos or the share sheet: M4A, MP3, WAV, MP4, MOV and more

A TRANSCRIPT YOU CAN WORK WITH

  • Every word is timestamped: tap a word to hear that moment
  • Playback from 0.5× to 3×
  • Search inside a recording or across all of them
  • Fix words, split or merge passages, and name the speakers
  • Transcribe in every language your device supports

On devices with Apple Intelligence:

  • A summary, key points, action items and chapters
  • Ask questions about a recording and jump to the moments that answer them

EXPORT ANYWHERE
