What's New in Whisper Notes

1.8.8

September 18, 2026

New Features - Apple Speech — on iOS 26, choose Apple's speech engine alongside Parakeet, SenseVoice and Whisper. Download only the languages you need; everything stays on your device. - Recordings resume automatically after a phone call or other interruption (up to two minutes). - One Share menu for everything — text, timestamps, text + audio, TXT/SRT/VTT — the same on the note and in detail view, plus Bulk Share Text for several notes. Improvements - Faster: models are ready sooner after launch, the note appears the moment you stop recording, and saving edits no longer blocks the interface. - Very long transcripts open instantly — text first, timestamps generated in the background. - Model downloads resume where they left off, retry automatically, and say why if they fail. - Speaker detection is in every note's menu and now handles long recordings reliably. - VoiceOver: every control is labeled, results are announced, notes read as one sentence, and Reduce Motion is respected. Fixes - Force-quit while recording? The recording is in your list when you reopen the app, and transcribes automatically. - Failed transcriptions and imports show the actual reason, and an interrupted transcription keeps the text it already produced. - Whisper: quiet or distant speech is no longer dropped, and phantom phrases in silent passages are filtered out. - Silent recordings with a Bluetooth or wired headset? Turn on "Prefer Built-in Microphone" in Recording & Audio. - Stability improvements throughout, especially SenseVoice, sharing and the custom dictionary. Edits and deletions can no longer be lost or come back.

录音转写不出来

还可以,选有一些转写后还是需要修改,但是私密性强,

Response from developer

抱歉给您带来不好的体验!第三个录音转写异常,可能是因为该录音的音质与前两个有所不同(比如背景噪音较多、说话声音较远等),导致模型出现了幻觉(产生无关的文字)。我们会在后续版本中继续提升模型的识别准确率,减少这类问题。

ゴミ

全然まともに文字起こしできてない
精度が低すぎる

Response from developer

ご期待に添えず申し訳ありません。日本語の精度は選んでいるモデルで大きく変わります。設定でモデルを「SenseVoice」に切り替えてみてください。日本語・中国語・韓国語向けに作られたモデルで、標準のモデルよりかなり正確です。あわせて本日公開の 1.8.8 への更新もお願いします(SenseVoice の安定性を修正しています)。それでも改善しない場合は support@whispernotes.app までご連絡ください。どんな録音か教えていただければ、こちらで確認します。

녹음 후 전사과정이 안되고 앱 강제종료되는데

업데이트 안해주시나요?

Response from developer

업데이트, 오늘 나왔습니다. 1.8.8이 바로 그 문제 — 녹음 후 전사 단계에서 앱이 강제 종료되는 문제 — 를 수정한 버전입니다. 업데이트 후 그 녹음에서 다시 전사를 눌러 보세요. 그래도 안 되면 support@whispernotes.app으로 기기 모델을 알려 주시면 바로 확인하겠습니다. 기다려 주셔서 감사합니다.

진짜 강추

사용한지 2년 넘어나 ? 아직도 최애영

Response from developer

2년 넘게 함께해 주셔서 감사합니다. 이런 한 줄이 오래 남습니다. 앞으로도 그 '최애' 자리에 있을 수 있게 계속 다듬겠습니다.

Works well

The app works well, I just wish it would do progressive transcription and show the text while recording.
