TapChat Live Transcribe
Speech to text captions & TTS
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Stay social. Don't miss a word.
Live transcription with smart reply suggestions — built for real conversations, on or offline.
See what's being said. Reply in seconds.
TapChat turns spoken conversations into readable text on your phone in real time. Whether you're in a loud restaurant, watching TV without sound, in a fast meeting, or just want to catch every word at the dinner table, TapChat shows what's being said and helps you reply instantly. Works completely offline.
**Live Transcription
Turn on the TV, listen to a podcast, or have a friend speak — TapChat transcribes voices in real time. Catch every word in noisy rooms, on the go, or whenever you can't quite make it out. Even with the screen off.
**Smart Answer Suggestions
TapChat reads the conversation as it happens and offers tappable replies, so you can respond in a single tap instead of typing every word. Turn suggestions on or off any time in Settings.
**Vibrate When Mentioned
Add your name (or any trigger word) and your phone softly buzzes the moment it's spoken — so you never miss your cue in a group dinner, a meeting, or a noisy room.
**Type Big
Standing in a loud bar, on a busy commute, or somewhere it's hard to be heard? Open Type Big and your message fills the screen so the other person can read it across the table.
**Upload to Transcribe
Drop any audio or video file into TapChat and turn it into clean, readable text — interviews, lectures, voice memos, recorded calls.
**Recent Transcripts
Every conversation is automatically saved so you can scroll back, share, or re-read at your own pace. Tap any transcript to view it full screen.
**Customize Your Display
Adjust text size, weight, and font to match how you read best. Multiple fonts including large and bold options, plus light, dark, and auto themes.
**Works Offline
Everything runs on-device, so transcription is always available — on flights, in tunnels, in basements, anywhere your network drops.
**Built for Everyday Conversations
Download TapChat and start catching every word — today.
