Tess-Hoshi
Live transcripts on device
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Record any conversation and watch the transcript appear live — in your language, right on your iPhone. One tap. Private by design.
Hoshi turns any conversation into text — live, as it happens.
Tap one button and Hoshi records and transcribes at the same time, showing the words on screen while you speak. When you stop, your recording and a clean transcript are saved together, ready to keep, share, or send to your own server. No accounts, no clutter, no
learning curve.
ONE BUTTON, NOTHING TO LEARN
• Tap to record, tap to stop — that's the whole app.
• A live transcript streams in as people talk.
• Your recording (.m4a) and transcript (.txt/.md) are saved the moment you stop.
BUILT FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS
• Far-field microphone tuning picks up a speaker across the room.
• Keeps recording with the screen off or the app in the background.
• Sensitivity settings for quiet rooms and distant speakers.
EVERY RECORDING, ORGANIZED
• A searchable library keeps every session with its date, length, and full transcript.
• Reopen any recording to read the transcript, replay the audio, rename it, or share it.
• Delete anything with a swipe — nothing leaves your phone unless you choose.
YOUR LANGUAGE
• Transcribe in any language your iPhone supports.
• Speech recognition runs on-device whenever your language allows.
SAVE IT YOUR WAY
• Save locally and share through the standard iOS share sheet.
• Or upload the recording and transcript straight to your own server endpoint.
IMPORT EXISTING AUDIO
• Bring in .m4a or .wav files and Hoshi transcribes them for you.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Audio is processed on your device and written only to your local library.
• Files leave your iPhone only when you tap Save or Upload.
Perfect for meetings, lectures, interviews, client calls, voice notes, and anyone who wants a fast, private record of what was said.
