Apunte

On-device audio transcription

Free · In‑App Purchases

Record, import, and transcribe entirely on your iPhone or iPad, with no account and no network code. New in 1.1: your own notes, and iPhone Duo on both screens. Apunte turns recordings, audio files, and video into an accurate, timestamped transcript, entirely on your iPhone or iPad. Most transcription apps upload your recording to a server. Apunte never connects to anything: it has no networking code and no account. Recording and transcription are free, and nothing leaves your device unless you send it. WHAT IT DOES • Tap Record and talk; the transcript appears when you stop. Recording carries on with the screen locked or the phone in your pocket • Bring in audio and video from Files, Voice Memos, or Photos; only the sound is kept • Accurate timestamped transcripts using Apple's on-device speech recognition • Type your own notes as you record or listen; each lands at its moment • Tap any line to play from that moment, from 0.5× to 2× • Correct any line; the edit sits beside the original and one tap reverts it. Split a line where a second person starts • Find and Replace, and saved fixes for words the recognizer keeps getting wrong • Review mode marks the lines the recognizer was least sure of, and every number, so you know where to listen first • Export the recording as well as the transcript, to any app • Send transcripts to your Mac, iPad, or another iPhone by AirDrop or cable: one encrypted file, no cloud, no account • A call pauses the recording; it resumes when you hang up • Start and stop from Control Center or the Action button; stop from the Lock Screen • On iPhone Duo, a recorder standing half open, and two pages open flat NOTHING LEAVES YOUR IPHONE ON ITS OWN No account, no analytics, no crash reporting, no "check for updates", no network code. iOS downloads the language models and the App Store handles purchases; Apunte itself never reaches the network. Recordings are encrypted with a key kept in your device's Secure Enclave. Keep the audio, erase it once the transcript is done, or after a set number of days. Transcripts stay out of backups unless you turn that on; recordings never go into one. FREE, AND NOT CRIPPLED Recording and transcription are free. Every language, any length, no limits, no watermark, no trial clock. Plain text, timestamped text, JSON, and the recording export free, forever. JSON carries the original recognition, your corrections, notes, speaker names, and timings, so your work is never trapped here. APUNTE PREMIUM • Speaker names: label who is speaking on any line, carried into every export • More export formats: SubRip (SRT), WebVTT, CSV, Markdown, HTML, PDF, and Word (.docx), plus audio clips of any lines • Summaries: an overview, key points, and action items for each part of a recording, generated on your iPhone by Apple Intelligence • Search every transcript at once: find a phrase across your whole library, down to the line • Live transcription: words appear as people speak, from the microphone, and the session becomes a transcript you can edit, play back, and export If your subscription ends, the speaker names and live transcripts you have stay and keep exporting. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Apunte Premium is a 1-month or 1-year auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Each unlocks every Premium feature, for the subscription period or permanently. The full price for each period is shown in your local currency in the app before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and renewal is charged within the 24 hours before it ends. Manage or cancel in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://retraclabs.co/#/apunte/terms Privacy Policy: https://retraclabs.co/#/apunte/privacy REQUIREMENTS iOS or iPadOS 26 or later. iOS downloads a language's speech model the first time you pick it. Summaries need Apple Intelligence. Where Apple's conversation recognizer can't run, Apunte uses Dictation and says so.

Your notes, beside the transcript. While you record, type in the Note field above Stop: each note lands at the moment you started typing. Mark a moment with one tap: Important, Decision, or Follow-up. In a saved transcript, touch and hold a line > Add Note; on iPad, your notes have a column of their own. Summaries follow your notes as their outline and quote them word for word. Made for iPhone Duo. Stand it half open while you record: the words sit above the fold and the recorder below, with room for the keyboard when you type a note. Open it flat: your words on one screen, your notes or a summary on the other. Find and Replace: tap the arrow beside the search field to fix a misheard name everywhere at once, and every line keeps Revert to original. Save the fix for a word Apunte keeps getting wrong, and review mode points it out next time. Review mode now marks every number, and flags a note whose number differs from what was said around it. Naming speakers is quicker: in Select mode, the names sit in the bar, so tap the lines, then a name, and Select stays on until you tap Done. Talk Time shows who spoke how much, and Show Only shows one speaker's lines. Summaries appear part by part as they're made, and they're kept: close one and it's there the next time you open Summary. Regenerate makes a new one. They no longer show stray ** marks or dashes, and summaries you've made still open if Premium ends. If Apple Intelligence's model isn't on your iPhone, the summary says what to check instead of "still downloading," and starts by itself once the model is ready. Quick note: add Record with Apunte to Control Center, or set the Action button to it. One press opens Apunte and starts recording (after Face ID on a locked iPhone), and the next stops and saves it. Transcribe in Apunte: share one or several recordings from Voice Memos, and Apunte transcribes them the next time you open it. If Live Activities are off for Apunte, Settings says so and takes you to the switch, so a recording shows its timer on the Lock Screen. Long transcripts play back smoothly. And if Apunte closes in the middle of a recording, the recording and your notes come back the next time it opens.
