Sagt: Audio to Text

Transcribe recordings offline

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Ask all your interviews and see who said it, and in which recording. Play the quote and hear it yourself. All on your iPhone and iPad, no cloud. Sagt turns audio recordings into text – entirely on your own iPhone or iPad. Record a meeting, or share a recording from Voice Memos or Files, and get an accurate transcript with timecodes and who said what, ready to search, edit and share. Ask every interview in a project, and play the quote the answer is based on. LOCAL AND PRIVATE • Your audio and text never leave your device. No account, no cloud. • The language model is downloaded once. After that, recording and transcription work offline. RECORD MEETINGS – EVEN WITH THE SCREEN LOCKED • Start recording, put your phone on the table and lock the screen. Sagt keeps recording. • When you stop, the recording is transcribed automatically, and the work can continue in the background. SHARE FROM OTHER APPS • Share audio files and videos from Voice Memos, Files and other apps straight to Sagt. • Your recordings and transcripts are also in the Sagt folder in the Files app. FREE – WITH SAGT PRO AS ONE PURCHASE • Free: every model, including NB-Whisper, for recordings of up to 10 minutes. Edit, get summaries, copy and share the text. • Sagt Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and works on Mac, iPhone and iPad: long recordings, who said what, projects, search across all recordings, export to Word, Markdown and subtitles, timecodes and audio clips. MADE FOR NORWEGIAN – AND ENGLISH • Choose between several models, from small and fast to most accurate. Sagt recommends the one that suits your iPhone or iPad. • For Norwegian: NB-Whisper from the National Library of Norway, trained on Norwegian speech, also on iPhone. • Transcribe again with another model and compare the versions. • Add your own names and terms for more accurate spelling. WHO SAID WHAT (PRO) • Sagt finds the speakers while the recording is transcribed. • Name the speakers, and their names appear right in the text. EVERYTHING AROUND YOUR RECORDINGS • Add several recordings. Sagt works through the queue and shows the text as it comes in. • Play back at any speed, with the sentence being read highlighted. Tap the text to jump in the audio. • Search all your recordings and jump straight to the moment (Pro). • Group recordings into projects (Pro). • Copy and share the text, or save it as plain text. With Pro: Word, Markdown, SRT and WebVTT, with timecodes. ASK YOUR RECORDINGS – AND HEAR THE ANSWER YOURSELF* • Ask a question about every interview in a project (Pro) or about one recording: “What did they say about the budget?” • The answer shows who said it (speakers, Pro) and in which recording, with the time and the excerpt it is based on. • Play the quote with one tap and hear that it was really said – or open the recording right at that moment. SUMMARIES AND ACTION ITEMS* • A short summary with decisions and action items with an owner and a deadline. • The timecode next to each action item plays that moment in the recording. • “Copy as Task List” gives you a checklist to paste into Jira, Linear or GitHub. • Automatic titles. Everything runs on your device with Apple's language model. *Requires an iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on. Transcription works without it. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 • iPhone with A15 Bionic or later: iPhone 13 or later, or iPhone SE (3rd generation) • 3–8 GB of free space, depending on the model, and internet the first time to download the language model

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

New in this version: • Ask your project: the answer shows who said it and in which recording, with the time and the excerpt it is based on. Play the quote straight from the answer and hear that it was really said. • Summaries with action items that have an owner, a deadline and a timecode. Tap the timecode to hear the moment, and copy the items as a task list for Jira, Linear or GitHub. • Export to Word and Markdown includes speaker names and the summary. • Find in a recording: search the text, see the matches highlighted and step between them. • Search results open the recording with the search highlighted, and you can go straight back to the results. • Search tolerates typos, finds words inside words and shows more results when there are many. • Subtitles are split into short captions of at most two lines. • Automatic titles draw on the whole recording, not just the beginning. • The detail view is faster during playback and editing. • Recording carries on after a phone call, and tells you if it has stopped. • Control playback from the Lock Screen and Control Center. • Files you share to Sagt are picked up while the app is open, too.
