Four things you can do now that weren't in the last few updates' notes: Live translated captions. Pick a language and the translation appears under the live transcript as people speak. It runs on your device with Apple's Translation framework, it's off by default, and any language pack downloads only after you say yes. Custom vocabulary. Add names, product terms and jargon, and Lyonesse uses them when it transcribes. Clean verbatim. Turn on a view that hides the ums and ahs. Your original transcript isn't changed, and the cleaned version carries into exports. Dictate into any Mac app. Hold a shortcut, speak, and the text is pasted where your cursor is. It's off by default, and nothing is sent anywhere. Your recordings and transcripts still stay on your device.

Internal maintenance only — nothing about how the app works has changed in this update. As always, your recordings, transcripts and summaries stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

FIXED: TRANSLATED CAPTIONS COULD NOT BE TURNED ON Translated captions arrived in the last update, but on a new install the button to switch them on never appeared. It does now. Start a recording, use the speech-bubble button, and pick the language you want the second line in. The translation runs on your device, like everything else here — nothing is uploaded.

- Your words, spelled right. Add names, products, and jargon to your custom vocabulary in Settings, and transcription gets them right — seeded automatically from what you told us during setup. - Live translated captions. Recording in a language you half-speak? Turn on a second caption line in yours, translated on-device while the recording runs. Nothing leaves your phone. - Clean reading mode. One tap hides the "ums" and false starts in a transcript — and one tap brings every word back. The recording itself is never changed. - Rewrite a note. Turn a rambling voice note into polished prose, a bulleted list, a ready-to-send email, or a short message — without adding a single word you didn't say. - Tags that suggest themselves. Lyonesse now proposes up to three tags per note. Tap to accept, or dismiss — nothing is ever applied for you. And a library filter you like can now be saved as a view.

A NEW NAME AND A NEW ICON The app is now called Lyonesse. Same app, same library, same on-device privacy — a new name and a lighthouse icon to go with it. Nothing moves on your device and nothing needs re-importing. START A RECORDING FROM ANYWHERE A Lock Screen widget, a Control Center button, Siri and Shortcuts, and a menu bar recorder on the Mac with real menu commands. Ask a question by voice, and voice commands now work in every language the app speaks. CAPTURE NOW, PROCESS LATER Record on the move and let a more capable device do the AI work. Choose which of your devices processes a note, or defer processing entirely until later. SPEAKER LABELS IN FAR MORE LANGUAGES Recordings in Norwegian, Turkish, Croatian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic and many more now get speaker labels and per-word timings — previously they got neither. Voice profiles let the app recognise a speaker it has met before and name them for you. A REAL PLAYER Playback speed, skip forward and back, and chapters that jump to the moment a topic starts. EXPORT THE WHOLE LIBRARY Export a project, your entire library, or a Markdown vault for other note apps. Exports can carry real timestamps, and subtitle files (SRT and VTT) are built from actual timings rather than an estimate. BUSINESS CARDS BECOME CONTACTS Photograph a card and add it straight to Contacts, or share it as a contact file. BETTER ANSWERS Answers cite their sources on every AI tier now, not only Apple Intelligence. A question asked in one language finds answers written in another, and long documents summarise properly instead of stopping short. TURN AUTOMATIC SUMMARIES OFF A new switch stops summaries being created automatically. Generating one by hand still works. CLEARER TRANSCRIPTS Fixed several causes of corrupted transcripts: words run together in live captions, the closing words of a recording dropped, and speech lost between the sections of a long recording. ALSO FIXED Siri speaks an answer once instead of twice. Long recordings keep their audio and their speaker labels all the way to the end. The Privacy and Terms links open again. Everything still runs on your device.

A BETTER ON-DEVICE MODEL FOR YOUR DEVICE Inscribe used to offer everyone the same small on-device model. Now it looks at what your iPhone, iPad or Mac can actually hold and offers the best model it runs comfortably — so more capable devices get noticeably better summaries and action items. Models your device cannot run are no longer offered at all, and setup now shows the real download size before you start. Also fixed: Generate Summary did nothing on an imported photo.

Interrupted recordings now survive: • A call, Siri or an alarm no longer costs you your recording. Inscribe tells you the microphone was taken, stops the timer, and carries on in the same recording the moment the microphone is free. • If you stop while it is still interrupted, everything captured before the interruption is saved — transcript and audio — instead of an empty note. • Long recordings that were interrupted could previously save with no audio at all. They don't any more. Summaries: • If your device can't create summaries yet, Inscribe now tells you from your library as well, not only inside a note. If you share things into Inscribe without opening them, this is the message you never saw. Also: improvements to how and when Inscribe asks for your feedback.

Recording you can trust: • Recordings in languages that use the built-in recognizer now save their audio properly — so playback, Follow Along, audio export and recovery all work for them too. • A recording interrupted by a call, a crash or a low-memory shutdown is handed back to you the next time you open the app. • Fewer duplicate recovered notes after a very long recording. Smarter summaries: • When a summary can't be generated, Inscribe now tells you exactly why — a note that's too long, a language Apple Intelligence doesn't support, or content it declined — and switches to your local AI model when one is installed. • The on-device model is no longer unloaded in the middle of a summary, so summaries finish faster and fail less. Easier to get going: • Onboarding no longer blocks you: every question is optional, so you can start recording straight away. • Ask Inscribe now suggests questions about your own notes instead of showing an empty box. • Telling us what isn't working takes a single tap.

Refinements throughout the app, plus a round of stability and reliability fixes. As always, everything runs on your device: your recordings, transcripts, summaries and answers never go to a transcription or AI cloud. Thanks for using Inscribe. If something isn't working the way you expect, get in touch — your feedback shapes what comes next.

Recording you can trust: • If live captions ever stop mid-recording, Inscribe now tells you on the spot — your audio keeps recording, and the full transcript is created the moment you tap stop. • Fixed a rare case where the microphone could stay active after cancelling a recording. • More reliable live transcription, especially on Mac. • Recording durations are now always reported correctly. Smarter summaries: • When a summary can't be generated, Inscribe now tells you exactly why — a note that's too long, a language Apple Intelligence doesn't support, or content it declined — and automatically switches to your local AI model when one is installed. • Fixed rare repeated retry attempts that could run on every app launch. Plus clearer Restore Purchases messages and plenty of under-the-hood reliability work.

Interrupted recordings are now recovered. If Inscribe is closed, crashes, or is shut down by iOS while you're recording, your audio is no longer lost — it's waiting in your library the next time you open the app, ready to transcribe. • Transcription now works in every language Inscribe offers. Norwegian, Turkish, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, Swedish and Russian recordings could previously finish with no text at all. • Fixed summaries failing moments after opening the app on devices that already had an AI model downloaded. • If your device can't generate summaries, Inscribe now tells you up front — and lets you carry on without them instead of showing an error on every note. • The recorder now tells you when the first words will appear while the transcription model warms up. • An AI model download that gets interrupted now finishes on its own.

Export the audio from your voice notes. EXPORT AUDIO Save or share the original recording from any voice note — send it to Files, another app, or drag it straight out. The audio you captured is yours to take anywhere. Plus a round of stability and reliability fixes. As always, everything runs on your device: your recordings, transcripts, summaries and answers never go to a transcription or AI cloud.

Save web pages, clean up your library faster, and get your photos back out. WEB PAGES Add any article to Inscribe and get its text, summary, and action items like any other note. Share a link from Safari, tap Add Link and paste, or paste a copied link straight into the library. Everything is still processed on your device. SELECT MULTIPLE NOTES Tap Select to pick several notes at once, then delete, tag, pin, or file them into a project in one go — instead of one at a time. TAGS, WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM Create a tag right from the library, and add tags from inside any note. Drag a note onto a tag to apply it. YOUR IMAGES, YOURS AGAIN Share or save any imported photo back to Photos, Files, or another app — or drag it straight out. You can also re-analyze an image to read it again, which is useful if you've since set up a better on-device model. DRAG AND DROP Drop files and links anywhere on your library to import them. Drag notes onto projects and tags to organize them. ALSO • Very short notes no longer get an AI summary, where results weren't reliable • Pasted and shared text notes now display properly instead of as a file preview

Image Understanding — Inscribe can see your photos now Turn on the optional image-understanding model and imported photos get a real description of what is actually in them, instead of a list of detected subjects. It downloads only if you ask for it, and it runs on your device like everything else. Text in images is read either way. A better transcription model Parakeet replaces the Whisper models Inscribe used to offer. In our published English benchmark it was more accurate than every Whisper model we shipped, and it takes less space than Whisper Small did. If you had Whisper models downloaded, this update reclaims that storage for you automatically. Fixes and polish Linked files in a project now open straight from the project, and Back returns you there. Plus a round of stability fixes across importing and background processing. As always, everything runs on-device: your recordings, transcripts, summaries, images, and answers never go to a transcription or AI cloud.

Meeting reminders — never miss a note Link a meeting from your calendar and Inscribe reminds you to record before it starts. Your calendar stays on your device. Related Notes Each note now surfaces the others it connects to, so past recordings and documents come back right when you need them. Name speakers on any recording Renaming speakers used to work only while recording. Now you can rename them on imported and existing notes too — and the change flows everywhere the speaker appears: colored headers, the outline, playback highlighting, and exports. Collapsible sections & editable dates Summary, Action Items, Decisions, and Key Points now fold away like Extracted Content. Tap a note's date to fix it — handy for imported audio. Faster, cleaner deletes Deleting a note now cancels any transcription or summary still running in the background. As always, everything runs on-device: your recordings, transcripts, summaries, and answers never go to a transcription or AI cloud.

Turn your notes into knowledge — privately, on your device. • Flashcards — Turn any recording, note, or document into flip-through study cards, generated entirely on-device.

This update makes Inscribe smarter — and everything still runs 100% on your device. • Follow Along — tap any line of a transcript to jump the audio to that exact moment, and watch the transcript highlight in sync as it plays. • AI-checked transcription — Inscribe now detects phrases the transcriber wasn't sure about and quietly fixes mishearings using on-device AI. Your recordings never leave your device. • Better long recordings — summaries now grow with the length of your meeting instead of compressing everything to a few paragraphs, and action items are captured from the entire recording, not just the first few minutes. • Weekly Review — a new recap in the Action Center every week: highlights, decisions you made, and a suggested focus for the week ahead. • Improved iCloud sync reliability and bug fixes.

• Pin notes to keep them at the top of your library • Filter by type, project, tag, or date — and sort by newest, oldest, title, or recently modified • Find in note: search inside any transcript, with highlighted matches • New notifications: a morning digest of due action items, deadline reminders, and an optional weekly briefing — all created on-device, nothing leaves your phone
