## What is Tapes?

Record a meeting and read it as text when it is over.

Transcription and translation both run on your phone. Nothing is uploaded.
You can record an interview on a plane and finish reading it before you land.

■ Transcription — 29 languages
Each exchange shows its time. Tap a line to play from that point.
You can edit any line that was transcribed incorrectly.

■ Translation — 19 languages
Read the translation alongside the original text. Translation runs on the device as well.

■ Summaries and titles
An hour-long meeting can be summarized into a few lines. Titles are generated from the content.
(Requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence)

■ Apple Watch
You can record on the watch alone, without your iPhone nearby.

■ Without opening the app
Start from the widget, Control Center, or Siri.
Recording shows on the Lock Screen and continues with the screen off, even through a phone call.

■ Import
You can bring in audio from other apps and turn it into text.

■ Organize
Deleted recordings stay in the trash for 30 days.
Favorites, date sections, and search are available, and search covers what was said.

■ Export
Export as .txt, .md, or subtitles (.srt), with translations included.
You can back up to iCloud.

■ Not a subscription
Recording, playback, search, and sharing are free.
Transcription, translation, and summaries are a single purchase you keep.

■ No server
No analytics, no ads. Not even the developer can see what you recorded.

■ The app has a new name

AI Recorder is now Tapes, and the icon is a cassette — that is what to look
for on your Home Screen.
It is the same app, so your recordings and your purchase are still there.

■ Rebuilt on iOS 26

Speech recognition moved to the new engine and is faster and more accurate.
Long recordings no longer stop halfway through.

■ New

Translation — read the translation alongside the original. 19 languages.
Summaries and titles — a long meeting can be summarized into a few lines.
Apple Watch — you can record on the watch without your iPhone nearby.
Widget, Control Center, Siri — start without opening the app.
Lock Screen — recording continues with the screen off.
Trash, favorites, and search have been added.
Export as .txt, .md, or subtitles (.srt), with translations included.
The app is available in Korean, English, and Japanese.

Nothing is uploaded — that has not changed.
