Share a video from Photos or Files straight into reh·cord. Imported videos now go to iCloud and come back with their sound, as one recording. Settings lets films stay on the device while the sound is backed up, big films ask before using mobile data, and an upload can be stopped, not just paused. An imported recording is filed under the day it was made, read from the file itself, and a film that knows where it was shot offers that place. iPhone 11, 12, 13 and SE, and older iPads, now transcribe on the device with a lighter model, and the app is a 16 MB download instead of 660: the transcription model arrives with the install. The Timeline and Map show the pieces rehearsed in each session. The Apple Watch card opens the watch app with a tap. Downloads from iCloud show their real progress and go faster when you’re waiting for them. Also: retranscribing pauses playback first, and How to use reh·cord explains how to keep reh·cord at the front of a share sheet.

A new Home screen. Starting a session is the first line on the paper, with your most recent sessions beside it. The iPad gets its own layout rather than a stretched phone. Start a recording from the Lock Screen with the new reh·cord widget. Pin a notebook to keep it at the top of the shelf. Pins sync between your devices. Tap a recording’s upload ring to pause the upload; tap it again to carry on. How to use reh·cord, in Settings, is rewritten: the Lock Screen widget, markers, your voice, playback, notebooks and notes, sharing, and what iCloud does. After an app update, the transcriber prepares itself quietly at launch instead of in the middle of your first short transcription. Also: the transcript no longer shifts sideways while it follows playback, spoken moments show as a thin line under the waveform, notebook covers keep one size when you resize the window on iPad, and a sync indicator appears beside Notebooks while the library catches up.
