Tap Record, talk, tap Stop: your text is ready in seconds and already copied. Now on iPad too, with iCloud Sync across your devices. No subscription.
Tap Record. Talk. Tap Stop. Your words show up as text, already copied, often about 2 seconds later.
Pick Gemini, Google's AI, with your own Google API key (free from Google), or the Built-in engine that works offline.
Pay once. No subscription, no ads, no account.
YOUR RECORDING DOESN'T GET LOST
- Phone call? The recording stops, is saved and turns into text right away.
- Alarm, timer or Siri? The recording pauses, then usually picks back up on its own. If it can't, it is saved and turned into text.
- App closed mid-recording? The recording is recovered the next time you open DualScribe.
- iPhone or iPad almost full? The recording stops and is saved, not thrown away.
- Gemini busy? DualScribe moves to another Google model. If none can finish, it can finish the text on your iPhone or iPad instead.
HOW IT WORKS
- One big Record button. Tap, talk, tap Stop.
- Your text is copied the moment it's ready. Paste it into any app.
- With Gemini, long meetings and lectures are transcribed in parts while you record, so the text is often ready seconds after you stop.
- Lock your iPhone or iPad, or switch apps after Stop, and transcription can keep going, with progress shown by the system.
- Clean it up with 9 one-tap AI tools.
TWO ENGINES. YOU PICK.
- Gemini, Google's AI. More accurate than Built-in, and great with long recordings, punctuation and formatting. It uses your own Google Gemini API key, which Google gives out for free. Getting one in Google AI Studio takes about a minute. Nothing is sent to Gemini until you add your key and turn Gemini on.
- Built-in, Apple's speech recognition. Works offline. Your audio stays on your iPhone or iPad.
CLEAN IT UP IN ONE TAP
- Fix Errors & Polish
- Rewrite & Refine

- Professional Tone
- Friendly Tone

Plus:
- Speaker ID labels who said what and can suggest names from the conversation. It uses Gemini.
- My Prompts lets you save your own instructions and run them on any transcript.
- Find & Replace, change case, remove empty lines and line breaks.
- AI tools and My Prompts run with Gemini, or right on your iPhone or iPad when Apple Intelligence is turned on.
HANDY EXTRAS

GREAT FOR

PRIVACY, IN PLAIN WORDS
- Your transcripts are stored on your iPhone or iPad, and in your own private iCloud while iCloud Sync is on.
- No account. DualScribe has no servers of its own, so your words never reach the developer.
- With Gemini, your audio and the text you use with AI tools and My Prompts go to Google under your own Google account and Google's terms. On the free tier, Google may use it to improve its products. Want everything to stay on your iPhone or iPad? Set both engines to Built-in and turn off iCloud Sync in Settings.
PAY ONCE
- No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases.

I’ve been looking for an app that offers transcription but also offers editing features and this one blew my mind!! From rewriting and formatting to speaker detection, this app uses ai to take your spoken thoughts and turn them into a ready to use document. Love this app!
Highly recommend!!

This app is just what I was looking for! It’s easy to use and incredible in its accuracy and functions. I have used it for meetings and it’s been a game changer in recording multiple speakers perfectly! And the price can’t be beat!
Very impressed by the transcription accuracy so far!

The first speech to text app that I've tried that can accurately transcribe complex medical terminology
DualScribe now works on iPad.
- Use it full screen in portrait or landscape, or in a window next to your other apps.
- On the bigger screen, your transcriptions stay in a readable column and the editor opens larger.
- If you already have DualScribe on iPhone, it's yours on iPad too.
- With iCloud Sync on, your transcriptions and My Prompts stay up to date on your iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Calmer, clearer messages.
- Every message now uses the same capsule, on the main screen, in the editor and in My Prompts.
- The wording is plainer and calmer. Copying now simply says "Copied".
- Message text is black in Light Mode and white in Dark Mode, so it is easier to read. Errors show a small red symbol.
- After Gemini finishes, the last message simply says "Via Gemini".
- Small fixes and improvements.
