Live translation for hours

iPhone
Free, private, no account. Transcribe and translate a whole church service, lecture or family dinner for hours, nonstop, right on your iPhone.
LongScribe is made for long conversations. It transcribes and translates live for hours without stopping, turning everything said into text in the language you read best. Set your iPhone down, point it at the speaker, and follow a whole church service, an afternoon of lessons or a long family dinner from the first word to the last.
BUILT TO RUN FOR HOURS
• Transcribes and translates nonstop, sentence by sentence as people speak
• Keeps going with the screen locked, for as long as the conversation lasts
• Stays smooth hour after hour: memory use does not grow as the transcript does
• Saves as it goes, so nothing already said is lost if the session is interrupted
• Groups speech into paragraphs, so hours of text stay easy to read and scroll back through
Made for the moments that matter: a church service, a music lesson, a lecture, a doctor's visit, a parent–teacher meeting, or dinner with family who speak a different language.
EASY TO READ
• Large, clear text, with a size up to extra-extra-large
• Show the translation alone, or with the original underneath
• Works with the largest system text sizes
EVERY CONVERSATION, SAVED
• Every session is saved automatically, nothing to remember to press
• On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, each one gets a short title and summary, in your language
• Rename any conversation, translate older ones, or export as text to share
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Speech recognition and translation run on your iPhone
• No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking
• Audio is never saved, only the text, and it never leaves your phone unless you share it
• Once the languages are downloaded, no internet connection is needed
More than 20 languages, including English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi and Vietnamese. Available languages depend on what Apple provides on your device.
Requires iOS 26. Titles and summaries require an iPhone with Apple Intelligence turned on.
Ratings & Reviews
• New: Settings › Send feedback goes straight to the developer. Nothing that was said is sent unless you turn on Include what was said.
• New: Continue. After ending a session, you can pick the same session up again; the gap shows as a pause.
• Fixed: Hold to speak could stay on after you left the app, keeping the microphone on and End session disabled.
• Fixed: changing Translate into now translates everything already on screen again, not only what is said next.
• Start is now “Start listening”, Hold to speak shows when it is still translating, and End session always works.
