What's New in Open Transcription
5.5
September 29, 2026
NEW: SPEAKER DETECTION Know who said what. Open Transcription now labels every voice in your recordings — up to 8 speakers, powered by NVIDIA Nemotron 3 and running 100% on your iPhone. Turn it on right from the recording screen or in Settings, or re-transcribe any existing note with speakers. Speaker labels are included when you export as text or Markdown. IMPORTANT FIXES FOR LONG RECORDINGS • A quiet stretch during a long recording could end it and discard the audio. Recordings now keep running, and nothing you recorded is ever thrown away. • If iOS closes the app while you're recording, the audio is now recovered almost completely on the next launch, ready to transcribe. • Saved recordings can no longer go missing after the app is reinstalled. Plus many smaller stability improvements.
