Hold to talk. Words appear. Everything stays on your iPhone.
HoldSay turns your voice into clean text with a billion-parameter speech model that runs entirely on your phone. No account. No cloud. Works in airplane mode.
WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE HOLDSAY
• True on-device transcription — audio never leaves your iPhone
• Voice keyboard: hold to speak in any app, text drops right into the field
• Apple Watch: record on your wrist, it lands on your phone — the watch keeps every take until your iPhone confirms it arrived
• Never lose a recording — audio is written to disk as you speak; calls, crashes, even force-quit can't take it away
• Action Button, Control Center, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — start recording from anywhere
• Long recordings queue up for transcription with one tap
• Export audio + text whenever you want
BUILT FOR TRUST
Recording is the one thing an app must never lose. HoldSay writes every second to disk the moment it's heard, survives interruptions, and recovers automatically after a crash. Your meeting is safe.
