## What is Lavra?

Lavra turns long voice notes and recordings into clean, readable text — plus a short summary you can skim in seconds. Everything runs entirely on your device. Your audio is never uploaded, ever.

Stop replaying the same voice message three times. Drop in an audio file and read it instead.

WHY LAVRA
- Listen less, read more: get a tidy transcript and an AI summary in one tap.
- Truly private: transcription, cleanup, and summaries all happen on your iPhone or Mac. The audio stays with you.
- Built for Apple Silicon: fast, on-device intelligence with no account and no subscription.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Transcribe audio in many formats: mp3, opus, ogg, m4a, wav, aac, flac, and more.
- Choose your engine: a fast on-device mode for everyday notes, or a high-accuracy mode on Mac.
- Clean it up automatically: punctuation, capitalization, and paragraphs added for you.
- Get a title and summary written by on-device AI, so you grasp the gist at a glance.
- Merge several recordings into one coherent transcript and a single summary.
- Edit titles and text inline, just like a notes app.
- Export to .txt, .md, or .srt, or copy with a tap.

VOICE NOTES FROM WHATSAPP & TELEGRAM
- Share an audio message straight to Lavra from iPhone.
- Import a WhatsApp "Export chat" .zip and Lavra organizes the notes by sender.
- Read what people said instead of holding the phone to your ear.

DICTATION
- On Mac: hold a global shortcut, speak, and your words appear.
- On iPhone: trigger from the Action Button — Lavra records, transcribes, and copies the result to your clipboard automatically.

YOUR WORDS, SPELLED RIGHT
- Add a personal vocabulary of names, brands, and terms so the AI writes them exactly as you do.

ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
- Your text syncs between Mac and iPhone through your own private iCloud, end to end. The audio never leaves the device it was made on.

LANGUAGES
- English, Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish.

PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST
Most "transcribe my voice notes" tools send your audio to the cloud. Lavra does not. Transcription uses Apple's on-device speech models, and cleanup and summaries use Apple's on-device foundation models. Nothing about your audio is collected, tracked, or shared.

Free. No ads. No subscription. No sign-up.
