What's New in Local Transcriber

2.0.0

November 2, 2026

Version 2.0 is all about the microphone, and it's still 100% on your iPhone. THREE WAYS TO TRANSCRIBE • Live: watch your words appear as you talk. When you stop, the full recording is transcribed again for the final text. • Standard: record, then transcribe. Fast and accurate for most things. • Precise: two speech engines listen and compare notes, then flag the spots they disagree on so you can double-check them in a tap. Uses Apple Intelligence when it's on. Swipe between modes on the microphone page, or set your favorites in Settings. RECORD INTO YOUR NOTES Tap the mic inside any transcript or note and your words land right where your cursor is. BETTER ACCURACY • Custom words: teach the app names, jargon, and brands you say often. • Pick the language you speak. • Noisy room? Recordings are automatically cleaned up before transcribing. • Paragraph breaks where you pause. • Higher-quality recording with AirPods, and fewer interruptions from calls. PRIVACY, TIGHTENED • Your library now lives in the app's own private storage, encrypted whenever your iPhone is locked. • Copies from the app stay on this iPhone instead of syncing to your other devices. MORE • Imports can use Standard or Precise. • Set which mode Record Now in Control Center starts with. • A brand-new look, plus lots of fixes and polish. Still no account to create and no data collected. At all.
