FAQ
Does FluidScribe have ads?
No, FluidScribe is ad-free. The app explicitly states 'no ads' and does not contain advertisements.
How accurate is FluidScribe's speech recognition?
FluidScribe uses NVIDIA Parakeet, a highly accurate open speech recognition model optimized for the Neural Engine. It includes punctuation and capitalization, and can transcribe an hour of audio in seconds.
What languages does FluidScribe support?
FluidScribe supports 25 European languages, and can even mix languages within a single memo. On-device translation is also available.
Does FluidScribe require an internet connection?
Once the speech model is downloaded (around 600 MB or 220 MB for the compact model), FluidScribe works in airplane mode. However, features like titles, summaries, and 'Ask Your Memos' require a device with Apple Intelligence.
What devices is FluidScribe available on?
FluidScribe is available on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. The Apple Watch integration allows recording on your wrist with transcription happening on your iPhone.
How does FluidScribe handle privacy?
FluidScribe is designed for privacy, with all speech recognition, titles, summaries, and translations running on your device. Your recordings and texts never leave your iPhone, and there is no account, tracking, or analytics.
What are the requirements for advanced features like summaries and action items?
Titles, summaries, and action items are created by Apple Intelligence. Without a device that supports Apple Intelligence, memos will be named by date and time.
How often is FluidScribe updated?
The latest version is 1.0.1, last updated on October 21, 2026. While specific update frequency isn't detailed, the app has received recent updates.
