About
Whisper Translate Offline turns speech into text, and text into another language — entirely on your iPhone or iPad.
Record a meeting, a lecture or a voice memo and get a transcript. Import an audio file instead. Then translate the transcript, or read the translation alongside the original.
NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE
• No account, no sign-in, no subscription
• No servers of ours: your audio and your text are never uploaded
• Recording needs no network at all, so it works offline and in airplane mode
• The app collects no data — that is the whole privacy policy
WHISPER, ON DEVICE
• Transcription runs on Apple's Neural Engine using OpenAI's Whisper model
• Recognises 99 languages and can detect the language for you
• Live preview while you record, then a full-quality pass over the finished audio
• Also transcribes audio files you import from Files or share from another app
TRANSLATION
• Translate a transcript into the language you choose
• Translation runs on device too: after a one-time model download it works offline, permanently
• Any language Whisper can hear can also be a translation target
WHAT TO EXPECT
• The first translation needs a one-off download of about 1 GB over Wi-Fi. It is optional — transcription works without it, and you can skip translation entirely
• The app is about 470 MB, and about 1.6 GB with the translation model installed
• Automatic transcription and translation are good but not perfect. They can mishear names, numbers and technical terms, particularly with background noise, strong accents or several people talking at once. Please check anything that matters
• Whisper Translate Offline is not a substitute for a professional interpreter
REQUIREMENTS
• iOS 18.0 or later
