Local Transcriber

No account. No sign-up. No data collected. Not "collected but kept private": none at all. Open Local Transcriber and start talking. It turns speech into text entirely on your iPhone, and your recordings, transcripts, and notes never leave your device. There are no servers to send them to, no analytics, and no tracking. Apple's App Store privacy label says it plainly: Data Not Collected. TALK, AND WATCH IT TYPE Pick how you want to transcribe: • Live: your words appear on screen as you speak. When you stop, the full recording is transcribed again for the cleanest final text. • Standard: record first, then transcribe. Fast and accurate for everyday notes. • Precise: two of Apple's on-device speech engines listen and compare. Spots they disagree on are flagged so you can double-check them in a tap. Uses Apple Intelligence when it's on, still entirely on your iPhone. Swipe between modes on the microphone page, or set your favorites in Settings. RECORD INTO YOUR NOTES Already have a note going? Tap the mic inside it and your words land right where your cursor is. IMPORT AUDIO AND VIDEO Transcribe videos from Photos and audio or video files from Files. Choose Standard or Precise for each import. ACCURATE BY DESIGN • Custom words: teach the app names, jargon, and brands you say often. • Choose the language you speak. • Noisy room? Recordings are cleaned up on your iPhone before transcribing. • Paragraph breaks where you pause. RECORD FROM ANYWHERE Add Record Now to Control Center to start recording in one tap. Keep recording while you switch apps or lock your phone. ORGANIZE AND EXPORT Rename, sort, and file transcripts and notes into folders. Export as Markdown or plain text, or copy straight to your clipboard. Copies stay on this iPhone instead of syncing through Universal Clipboard. NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR, NOTHING COLLECTED • No account, no email, no sign-in. Open the app and use it. • No data collected: no servers, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party code. • Transcription runs on your iPhone with Apple's on-device speech models. • Your library is encrypted by iOS whenever your phone is locked. • Temporary audio is deleted as soon as it's transcribed. • Erase everything from Settings at any time.
