Babelvault
Record, transcribe, translate
$14.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Record any conversation. Understand it in any language. Keep it private — forever.
Babelvault records or imports any conversation and turns it into a clean transcript, a one-tap translation, and on-device AI notes — entirely on your iPhone. No account. No cloud. No subscription. It even works in airplane mode.
Most transcription apps upload your private conversations to someone else's servers and bill you every month. Babelvault does the opposite: everything happens on your device, you pay once, and you own it.
WHAT IT DOES
• Record live or import audio/video — meetings, lectures, interviews, doctor visits, voice journals.
• Transcribe on-device in 40+ languages, with crash-safe capture that recovers interrupted recordings.
• Tap any line to jump to that moment in the audio and follow along as it plays.
• Translate the transcript with one tap — and hear it spoken back in a premium Apple voice or your own Personal Voice.
• On-device AI notes: a summary, action items, and decisions, tuned by use-case lenses (Meeting, Lecture, Doctor visit, Interview, Journal).
• Label speakers, highlight key moments, edit the transcript and notes, and search every recording you've made.
• Ask your vault: chat across all your recordings to find what was said — answered locally.
• Live two-way conversation translation: set the phone down, take turns, and it transcribes, translates, and speaks each side.
• Export anywhere: PDF, Markdown (Obsidian-ready), plain text, .srt/.vtt captions, or copy with timestamps. No paywalled exports, ever.
• Download the languages you use for fully-offline transcription and translation in the Language Center.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Recording, transcription, translation, and AI notes all run on your iPhone using Apple's on-device frameworks. No account, no analytics, no third-party AI, no servers. Lock the whole vault behind Face ID. The simplest proof: it works in airplane mode.
ONE PRICE. YOURS FOREVER.
A one-time purchase — no subscription, no per-minute charges, no usage limits, no history held behind a paywall.
On-device AI notes and "Ask your vault" require an Apple Intelligence device (iPhone 15 Pro/16 or newer) on iOS 26. Transcription and translation work on a wide range of devices.
