What's New in Tom

1.1.1

November 3, 2026

Copy and export now give you clean, continuous text. Until now every pause in the audio got its own line and its own timestamp, which made a transcript tedious to paste into a document. "Copy all" and the Text export now join everything into running prose, with a new paragraph only when the speaker changes. Need the timestamps? They're one tap away: "Copy with timestamps" and "Text with timestamps" give you the old line-by-line format. Thanks to the reviewer who pointed this out — you were right. Support for iPhone Duo

User reviews

Renaming the transcripts

This app is fantastic! I frequently use it to transcribe entire lecture recordings or conferences, and I can easily navigate through them or search for specific sections after transcription. It would be wonderful if there were an option to rename transcription files in addition to the automatic naming. Thank you very much!

Works well… but…

I tried the first free transcription from a video. It captured the audio well. However. every pause is marked with a timestamp which makes it cumbersome to copy and use to create a continuous transcription. I didn’t see an option to shut this off, so I am not going to buy it.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for trying Tom and for taking the time to write! You had a great point, so I added it: in the latest update "Copy all" gives you clean, continuous text with no timestamps. If you ever need them, there's now a separate "Copy with timestamps". Hope you'll give it another go!

Great app‼️

Fantastic job by the developers ‼️ thank you 🙏

Does as promises. Simple clean design.

Future updates I would love the ability to add links to transcribe eg, YT, podcasts, classroom videos, etc This will be a game changer for all teachers & students that will love this free app ♥️
