Nicely designed, not very accurate

I bought this app with very high hopes, especially for Hindi translation but no model works properly

デベロッパーさん!

Sense voiceが機能しません!
モデルを sense voiceに設定すると、全く文字起こしされないまま生成が停止してしまいます。
iPhone se3、バージョンは1.8.8で、Apple speechなど、他のモデルはうまく行きます!
修正お願いします!

Response from developer

ご報告ありがとうございます。iPhone SE(第3世代)で SenseVoice が文字を出さない件は、まだ原因を調べています。1.8.9 でも起きたら、設定 → フィードバック → 診断情報をコピー の内容を support@whispernotes.app に送っていただけると助かります。それまでは Whisper でも日本語を文字起こしできます。— Ke

Für mich mittlerweile unverzichtbar!

Ich bin wirklich begeistert von dieser App! Egal ob Gespräche, Videos, Webinare oder Vorträge, Whisper Notes macht daraus zuverlässig Text, den ich anschließend in Ruhe durchgehen kann. So kann ich die wichtigsten Informationen herausfiltern, übersichtlich zusammenfassen und ordentlich in meiner Wissensablage speichern. Nichts Wichtiges geht mehr verloren!

Was ich besonders schätze: Die App funktioniert auch offline und kommt ganz ohne Abo aus. Einmal kaufen und einfach nutzen. Genau so sollte es sein!

Für mich ist Whisper Notes inzwischen zu einem täglichen Begleiter geworden, auf den ich wirklich nicht mehr verzichten möchte. Eine dieser Apps, bei denen man sich fragt, wie man vorher ohne sie ausgekommen ist. Absolute Empfehlung und ein großes Dankeschön an die Entwickler!

자꾸 녹음 전사가 안됩니다.

제목그대로 전사가 제대로 이루어니지않습니다. 영어로 번역되서 나오거나 아예 한줄만나오고 말거나 그럽니다. 약 1주전부터 증상이 나타났습니다.

Response from developer

불편을 드려 죄송합니다. Parakeet 모델은 한국어를 지원하지 않아 영어로 나오거나 한 줄만 나올 수 있어요. 설정 → 음성 인식 모델에서 SenseVoice나 Whisper를 선택하고 언어를 한국어로 지정한 뒤 다시 변환해 보세요. — Ke

はじめは...

ちゃんと日本語対応ソフト使用したらある程度文字起こしできます。

Response from developer

ありがとうございます!日本語は 設定 → 文字起こしモデル で SenseVoice を選ぶのがおすすめです(日本語・中国語・韓国語向けのモデルです)。— Ke

Import txt

Falta uma forma de importar o txt gerado para conectar com outros servicos

Response from developer

Obrigado! Para levar o texto a outros serviços: no menu ⋯ da nota, toque em Compartilhar e escolha o texto ou o arquivo TXT (também há SRT/VTT), depois o app de destino. Para automatizar, o app Atalhos tem as ações «Get Last Transcription» e «Stop Recording and Get Transcription», que passam o texto para o próximo passo (Notas, Obsidian, e-mail…). Se você quis dizer outra coisa, me conte qual serviço usa: support@whispernotes.app. — Ke

Apple speech

Why the apple speech can not be download?

Response from developer

Update: 1.8.9 includes the fix: downloaded languages no longer flip back to "Download" after switching. Apple Speech still needs iOS 26 and isn't available on A13 iPhones (11, SE 2nd gen). — Ke

A real gem of an app

This app is an incredible find, I was looking for something that
- can record voice and transcribe the recording
- can transcribe offline without internet connection
- stores content locally
- can detect who is speaking and when
- can cope with strong accents
- does not have a monthly limit on how much you can record save or transcribe
- does not require a monthly subscription
- costs less than £10
I never believed I could find an app that does ALL of the above, I am so glad I was wrong! This app is a prime example of how things should be done! Well done!

Response from developer

Thank you for writing out the whole checklist — offline, local, speakers, no limits, no subscription is exactly the list I build against. Glad it copes with strong accents for you too. — Ke

Awesome Meeting Recorder

I have used this app for about a week now and I think this app is by far one of the best voice/meeting recording apps I have used. The only additional feature that I’d love to see would be summaries/take aways from a recorded meeting available as an option. I’ve found a way around this using the recording transcript export and using the new on-device Siri AI to provide that.
Show more

Response from developer

Thank you! Summaries aren't in the app today. The hard part is that a language model good enough to summarize an hour-long meeting has to run fully offline, next to the speech model, without slowing everything else down. Exporting the transcript and handing it to the on-device AI, as you do, is the route I'd suggest for now. Summaries are noted as a request, but I can't give a date. — Ke

Erreurs de transcription sur tous mes fichiers

J'ai acheté cette appli, tous mes fichiers audio sont reportés en "erreur de transcription" => Error: Unable to compute the asynchronous prediction using ML Program.=> iNUTILISABLE alors que le format est valide
Remboursez moi !!

Response from developer

Je suis désolé. Ce message vient de Core ML, le moteur d'Apple qui fait tourner le modèle sur la puce : c'est le calcul qui est refusé, pas le format de vos fichiers. Pour que je trouve la cause, écrivez-moi à support@whispernotes.app avec votre appareil, la version d'iOS ou de macOS et le modèle choisi. En attendant, essayez le modèle Whisper, puis « Retranscrire ». Si l'app ne vous convient pas, le remboursement se demande à Apple sur reportaproblem.apple.com. — Ke

건의 사항

26분짜리 녹음 파일을 업로드 하면 2분의 시간 경과 후변환오류가 뜹니다.
1시간 짜리는 10초안에 변환오류가 뜨구요.. 이런 점들 많았던 것 같은데 ㅠ 업데이트를 통해 해결할 수 없나요?

Response from developer

업데이트: 1.8.9에서 1시간짜리 파일이 길이 때문에 실패하던 문제는 해결됐습니다. 26분 파일이 2분 뒤 실패하는 원인은 아직 찾는 중이라, 계속되면 설정 → 피드백 → 진단 정보 복사 내용을 support@whispernotes.app으로 보내 주세요. — Ke

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.

Response from developer

Thank you! Straight answer on live text: today transcription starts when you stop, and on long recordings the text appears progressively while it's being processed — but it isn't shown while you're still recording. Showing it as you speak is on my list; I won't promise a date, but it's a real item, not a maybe.

经常出现转录中断且没法解决

1

Response from developer

更新:今天发布的 1.8.8 里,被打断的转录会保留已经转出来的文字,并显示中断的真实原因,请先更新试试。另外提醒一句:转录时请让 App 留在前台——这是纯离线 App,用的是手机本地算力,Apple 不允许这类 App 在后台继续运行,切到后台或锁屏就会中断。更新后如果还是频繁中断,请写信到 support@whispernotes.app 告诉我手机型号和录音长度,我来查。

Cheaper than alternatives

Initially had a problem recording using an older version but this seems fixed now fingers crossed, developer was responsive so support is great in that regards.

It’s much cheaper than a Wispr flow and works offline so that’s a big plus to be able to take notes directly. Might be cool to have a keyboard feature in the future where you can dictate from this app which has better voice recognition than iOS.

Response from developer

Thanks for updating your review, glad recording is solid now. On the keyboard idea, the honest answer: a custom keyboard on iOS can't record audio, that's an Apple restriction, so a dictation keyboard like that isn't possible. What I'm exploring instead is dictating without opening the app, from Shortcuts or the Action Button, with the text ready to paste. No date yet. — Ke

Flexible Speech-to-Text app on iOS!

The Speech-to-Text accuracy is good even when I use jargon. This App’s shortcuts are incredibly helpful. For example, I made a shortcut that appends my “last transcript” to my daily note in Obsidian. The primary interface is easy to use. Though I wish the cmd+0 keyboard shortcut worked on iPad (the macOS version of this app has keyboard shortcuts but the iOS version doesn’t).

It was great until it keeps crashing

Am I the only one experiencing this issue?
