SAFER DISCARD • Discarding a recording now asks for confirmation first — no more losing a recording to one accidental tap. • Transcribe and Discard swapped places: Transcribe on the left, Discard on the right.

IMPORTANT FIX FOR RECORDINGS • Tapping your recording in the Dynamic Island or on the Lock Screen now takes you straight back to it. Before, it could start a new recording and lose the one that was running. • The app no longer gets stuck in "recording" when that happened — stopping and cancelling work again. • Recording with a Bluetooth headset starts more reliably, even when the headset was just connected or disconnected. Thank you for your feedback — it helped find this quickly.

SPEAKER DETECTION, NOW EASIER TO FOLLOW • See speaker detection at work: a progress bar shows how far it is, right in the note and in your list — and a short note tells you when only one voice was found. • Speaker labels now travel with your notes: copying, sharing, JSON export and auto-export all keep "Speaker A / Speaker B". MORE RELIABLE RECORDING START • Recording now starts reliably right after you switch between a Bluetooth headset and your iPhone's built-in microphone. • Older devices that need a moment to get their audio ready no longer fail with "Audio session could not be configured" — the app now waits for them. Plus: on iPhones with Apple Intelligence's new Advanced model, the recording screen now shows it — and the tip jar picks up the colors of your app icon.

NEW: SPEAKER DETECTION Know who said what. Open Transcription now labels every voice in your recordings — up to 8 speakers, powered by NVIDIA Nemotron 3 and running 100% on your iPhone. Turn it on right from the recording screen or in Settings, or re-transcribe any existing note with speakers. Speaker labels are included when you export as text or Markdown. IMPORTANT FIXES FOR LONG RECORDINGS • A quiet stretch during a long recording could end it and discard the audio. Recordings now keep running, and nothing you recorded is ever thrown away. • If iOS closes the app while you're recording, the audio is now recovered almost completely on the next launch, ready to transcribe. • Saved recordings can no longer go missing after the app is reinstalled. Plus many smaller stability improvements.

Optimized for iOS 27: • Fixed the Dynamic Island's live recording timer clipping in landscape and on iPhone Duo's side-mounted island • General compatibility and stability improvements for iOS 27 As always, on-device transcription stays fully private and works offline.

• Fixed a crash that could happen when starting a recording, especially after you'd already recorded earlier in the session • More reliable recording when the audio route changes mid-session (headphones or Bluetooth connecting or disconnecting) • Added an on-device diagnostics log so recording issues can be tracked down faster

• New: Live Activities — track your recording's length right from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island, even with the app in the background • Fixed: "Rate the App" now takes you straight to the App Store instead of doing nothing

• New: Apple Watch app — record and browse your transcripts right from your wrist, with live status sync from your iPhone • The Watch app now matches whichever app icon color you've picked on iPhone • New Lock Screen widgets and Watch complications for one-tap recording • Added Whisper Large v3 Turbo — our most accurate on-device model yet • Import multiple audio files at once, right from the home screen • Combine several notes into one from multi-select • Fixed Magic Edit failing on very long recordings • Fixed a stuck progress indicator when extending a note

• New: Apple Watch app — start and stop recordings right from your wrist • Added Whisper Large v3 Turbo — our most accurate on-device model yet, with Neural Engine acceleration • Bug fixes and stability improvements

This update brings full Mac support: a resizable window, a proper sidebar + detail layout, and recording now opens in its own panel so you can keep browsing your notes while you record. Also included: • Long recordings auto-save every 5 minutes, so an unexpected app close never costs you the whole session • Apple Speech is now the default transcription engine • Fixed an issue where a mid-recording audio route change (e.g. a Bluetooth mic reconnecting) could result in a silent recording • iPad layout improvements

This update brings a full visual refresh, focused on a cleaner look and letting you capture more of your conversations: • All-new onboarding — a punchier walkthrough of what Open Transcription can do • Redesigned main screen — a clean, list-style layout with a project icon and status badge on every note, instead of cards • New: Transcribe Phone Audio — capture another app's call (Teams, Zoom, etc.) as its own recording, right alongside your mic notes • Recording screen now has a dedicated Input section, so it's always clear whether you're using the mic or capturing system audio • Refined light and dark mode — better contrast throughout, especially on status badges and buttons • General polish pass on spacing, button shapes, and animations across the app
