LocalVoiceNote

LocalVoiceNote turns speech into text directly on your iPhone or iPad — with privacy first. LocalVoiceNote is built for fast, private transcription. Record live speech and convert it to text on-device using Apple Speech on supported devices, or the bundled Whisper Large engine for consistent offline transcription across supported languages. Your recordings and transcripts stay on your device when you use on-device transcription. No account is required for local transcription, and Whisper transcription works fully offline once the app is installed. Tap once to start recording, speak naturally, and watch your transcript appear live. Save transcripts automatically, search your history later, revise text, translate supported content, and turn raw transcripts into cleaner notes when needed. Whether you are capturing meetings, voice memos, study notes, interviews, ideas on the go, or dictated drafts, LocalVoiceNote keeps the workflow simple and flexible. ### Key features - Live speech transcription on iPhone and iPad - Choose Apple Speech or bundled Whisper Large - Private by design — no cloud required for on-device transcription - Whisper transcription works fully offline - Whisper supports English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, and Japanese - Apple Speech support depends on your device, iOS version, and installed language assets - Searchable transcript history - Edit and revise saved transcripts - Translate supported transcripts on supported OS versions - Audio import for file transcription (Pro) - AI polish tools for cleanup, smart notes, and summaries with action items (Pro) - Copy, export, and share transcripts (Pro) ### Free tier The free version includes the core transcription workflow: - Live transcription - Apple Speech on supported devices - Bundled Whisper Large on-device transcription - Saved transcript history - Search, edit, and translation tools - Private, offline-first workflow ### LocalVoiceNote Pro — one-time purchase LocalVoiceNote Pro unlocks advanced power-user features with a single purchase: - Import audio files for transcription - AI polish tools: Clean Up, Smart Notes, and Summary & Actions - AI assistant tab - On-device Apple Intelligence support for AI polish when available - Optional cloud AI fallback for AI polish and assistant features with your own configured connection - Copy, export, and share transcript text
