■ Why we made this
Sometimes I have a bizarre dream and want to record it when I wake up, but typing with sleepy eyes is tough. I needed a tool that could quickly capture and transcribe speech.
When friends send messages that need long replies while I'm out walking or eating, I want to respond quickly without sending voice messages.
■ FAQ
1. Does it support real-time transcription during recording?
Not currently, it can only record and then transcribe when finished.
2. Is there a maximum transcription length?
No, in theory you can record several hours of audio. However, since the transcription happens on your device, it will take some time. I've tested it with about 2 hour of audio and the transcription was accurate.
3. What is the transcription speed?
It depends on your device. On my M4 macOS, the transcription speed is about 1:12, which means two hours of audio takes about 10 minutes to transcribe.
4. What languages are supported?
English, 中文, Deutsch, Español, Русский, 한국어, Français, 日本語, Português, Türkçe, Polski, Català, Nederlands, Arabic, Svenska, Italiano, Bahasa Indonesia, Hindi, Suomi, Tiếng Việt, Hebrew, Українська, Greek, Bahasa Melayu, Čeština, Română, Dansk, Magyar, Tamil, Norsk, Thai, Urdu, Hrvatski, Bulgarian, Lietuvių, Latina, Māori, Malayalam, Cymraeg, Slovenčina, Telugu, Persian, Latviešu, Bengali, Српски, Azərbaycan, Slovenščina, Kannada, Eesti, Macedonian, Brezhoneg, Euskara, Íslenska, Armenian, Nepali, Mongolian, Bosanski, Kazakh, Shqip, Kiswahili, Galego, Marathi, Punjabi, Sinhala, Khmer, chiShona, Yorùbá, Soomaali, Afrikaans, Occitan, Georgian, Belarusian, Tajik, Sindhi, Gujarati, Amharic, Yiddish, Lao, Uzbek, Føroyskt, Kreyòl Ayisyen, Pashto, Turkmen, Nynorsk, Malti, Sanskrit, Luxembourgish, Myanmar, Tibetan, Tagalog, Malagasy, Assamese, Tatar, Hawaiian, Lingala, Hausa, Bashkir, Javanese, Sundanese

Ratings and Reviews
Very accurate
While the accuracy of this app is impressive, it does not address my immediate needs. I use VoiceOver and voice control simultaneously and need live transcription to allow for immediate edits before copying the text to be used in other apps. The accuracy when using voice control is pretty pathetic often requiring words to be spelled out letter by letter to avoid capitalization errors and vulgarity from being inserted when it wasn't spoken even though I am in a very quiet place. I will let several of my friends know about this app. It is pretty rare these days to find an app without subscriptions which is greatly appreciated for those of us on a very limited disability income.

Nice iOS voice memo replacement that can also be used as a language learning tool
This app completely replaced iOS built in voice memo app. Transcription is fast and accurate, all done on-device. Also discovered that I can use this app as a tool for learning a new language. There are a few features that I would like implemented in the future.
Copy to clipboard toggle: Right now the app automatically copies transcribed text to the clipboard. There should be a toggle to turn this off or make this action manual so it doesn’t accidentally override content already in the clipboard.
Make text selectable in the transcribed text screen:
Discovered I can use this app to quickly translate words when watching foreign language TV by using iOS built-in translate function. Right now I have to go to the edit screen to make a text selection to use the translate function. Can reduce a step if I can make text selection directly on the main transcribed text screen.
Bug with shortcut:
I’m using the latest iOS 18.5. This app shows up in the shortcut app and in the control center action as a timer. Clicking on the action doesn’t do anything.
Overall this is a very useful and well designed app.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We'll consider addressing the issues you mentioned in future versions.
A fantastic app with great support and development!
I was looking for a nice speech to text app with a little more privacy function and stumbled across this gem. To the developer, don’t change your business model. People are getting tired of paying for subscriptions, and want more privacy. You’re doing great! Thank you for the quick email reply, remember 12hr and 24hr based on system settings. The title function is there but figure out a way to bring it to the forefront so it’s intuitive. Keep up the good work!
