JustScribe: AI Transcription
Record, transcribe, translate
Free · In‑App Purchases
JustScribe turns speech into text — and gets out of your way.
Tap record. When you stop, your audio is transcribed automatically. That's the whole workflow. No projects to create, no settings to configure, no account to sign up for.
WHY IT EXISTS
I built JustScribe because I couldn't find a transcription app I wanted to use. The good ones charged a monthly subscription I couldn't justify for occasional use. Most were unreliable in anything but English. Few could handle a long recording. None let me keep what I transcribed organized in a way that made sense.
PAY FOR WHAT YOU USE
Start with 60 minutes free. After that, top up: 1 hour, 10 hours, or 50 hours. Your balance never expires and there is no subscription. You can buy time without creating an account — not even to pay.
BUILT FOR REAL LANGUAGES
Transcription covers 50+ languages, including many that other apps handle poorly. Translate any transcript into the language you choose, in two styles: faithful (literal) or polished (natural). Optional automatic summaries.
YOUR CONTENT STAYS YOURS
Audio is transmitted for processing and deleted immediately afterwards — it is never stored on our servers. Transcripts and notes live on your device and sync through your own iCloud private database, which we cannot access. Our servers keep only billing metadata: minutes used, nothing you said. Delete your account from inside the app at any time and it is gone immediately.
NOTES THAT STAY ORGANIZED
Save any transcript into a notebook, rename it, sort it, and keep translations alongside the original. Everything syncs across your devices through iCloud.
ALSO INCLUDED
- Share notes with other JustScribe users — sent notes open right in the app

- Keeps recording when the screen is locked
- Speaker recognition for conversations and interviews (uses more of your balance)
- Import existing audio and video files
- Light and dark themes; interface available in 9 languages
- Designed for iPhone and iPad
JustScribe is made by an individual based in Sweden.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
You can now edit translations right in a note — tap Edit in the reader to fix a word or phrase without translating again. Longer translations now show progress hints while you wait. Also fixed: if your balance can't load, you'll see a retry option instead of 0 minutes.
