BeamScribe
Transcribe and broadcast!
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
BeamScribe is a real-time transcription tool that does more than just take notes—it connects the room. Turn a single device into a live captioning station and broadcast text instantly to up to 7 nearby devices.
Perfect for tours, presentations, meetings, and accessibility, BeamScribe lets one person speak (or listen to a guide) while everyone else follows along on their own screens, in real-time, without needing an internet connection.
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES:
Inclusive Tours: A group of deaf friends at a museum tour can all follow the guide's words instantly. One person holds their phone to transcribe the guide, and everyone else reads along on their own devices in real-time.
Presenter Accessibility: A person speaks, and deaf particpicants receive the details directly on their desks.
KEY FEATURES:
Broadcast to 7 Devices What makes BeamScribe unique is its ability to share clarity.
. One Speaker, Many Listeners: A single Host device transcribes speech and instantly broadcasts the text to up to 7 Guest devices nearby.
. Zero Latency: Guests see the words appear the moment they are spoken.
. Offline & Private: Uses peer-to-peer technology to link devices directly. No Wi-Fi, no data plan, and no cloud servers required for the connection.
. Real-Time Transcription Turn speech into text instantly with high-accuracy recognition. Watch the words appear as they are spoken.
Solo Mode Just need to take notes for yourself? Use "Transcribe Only" mode to capture thoughts, memos, or conversations privately on your own device without broadcasting.
Save & Export Automatically save your transcripts to your history. Review, copy, and share them later as PDF files.
Privacy First BeamScribe is designed with your privacy in mind. Transcription works entirely on-device (on supported models), and your transcripts are stored locally. We do not collect or store your conversations.
