## What is Bronkhorst Recorder?

Your words. Your device. Nobody else.

Bronkhorst Recorder is a privacy-first voice recorder that turns your spoken words into accurate, searchable transcripts — entirely on your iPhone. No cloud uploads. No subscriptions. No compromises.

Whether you're capturing a meeting, an interview, a lecture, or a personal note, Bronkhorst Recorder records with clarity and transcribes with the power of Whisper — one of the most accurate speech recognition models available — running completely on your device.


KEY FEATURES

On-Device Transcription
Powered by the Whisper model, transcription happens locally on your iPhone. Your audio never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Apple Intelligence Summarization (iOS 26+ · iPhone 15 Pro or newer)
Let Apple Intelligence automatically generate a concise summary of your transcript. Get the key points at a glance — without reading through the full text.

Effortless Recording
Record, pause, and resume with a single tap. A real-time waveform shows your audio level as you speak. Recordings are automatically saved and organized in your personal library.

Full Transcript with Timestamps
Every transcript is broken down into timed segments, so you can follow along and navigate your recording with precision.

Multilingual Support
Bronkhorst Recorder speaks your language. The app supports Dutch, English, German, and French — both for the interface and for transcription.

Your Personal Library
All recordings are stored locally and neatly organized. Browse, search, review transcripts, and copy text to the clipboard with ease.
