## What is McRecorder?

McRecorder is a voice recorder that turns what you said into text — and does it entirely on your own iPhone.

RECORDING
• Tap once to record. Audio is saved as 16 kHz mono WAV: a plain, universal file you can open anywhere, not a format that locks you in.
• Keeps recording when you leave the app or lock the screen. iOS shows its own recording indicator the whole time.
• Pause and resume without ending the recording.
• Skip silence, so an hour in a quiet room does not become an hour of audio.
• A storage limit you choose, and an auto-save interval so an interruption costs you seconds rather than the whole session.

TRANSCRIPTION, OFFLINE
• Speech-to-text runs on the device. No account, no upload, no server.
• Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese and Korean — detected automatically, phrase by phrase, so a conversation that switches language is transcribed in both.
• Hold the subtitles button while recording and watch the text arrive as each phrase finishes.
• The speech model is downloaded once (about 228 MB) and then kept on the device. After that, transcription works in Airplane Mode.

FINDING IT AGAIN
• Search by recording name or by what was actually said.
• Tap a result to start playing from the exact moment that phrase was spoken.
• A month calendar marks every day you recorded on; tap a day to see just that day.
• The home screen keeps today's recordings out of the way of the next one. History keeps everything.

THE REST
• A waveform you can scrub to any point.
• Rename a recording, share the audio, copy or share the transcript, remove a transcript without touching the audio.
• Light and dark themes, or follow the device.
• Interface in English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語 and 한국어.

PRIVACY
Your recordings never leave the iPhone. The app makes exactly one kind of network request in its life: downloading the speech model. There are no ads, no analytics, no account, no tracking and no in-app purchases. Recordings are stored in the app's own folder and are yours to share or delete.
