## What is XBScribe?

Turn recordings, audio, and video into editable text. Follow speech with floating live captions, and spend less time replaying meetings, lectures, and interviews.

TRANSCRIBE FOR 100 YEARS
No time limits. No usage limits. From long recordings to everyday conversations, transcribe whenever you need to.

OFFLINE TRANSCRIPTION, ON YOUR DEVICE
XBScribe uses Apple’s on-device speech recognition. A language model may need to be downloaded before first use. Once installed, microphone audio and local media can be transcribed offline without uploading your audio.

LIVE CAPTIONS WHILE YOU USE OTHER APPS
Watch your words appear as you speak into the microphone. Picture in Picture keeps captions visible when you switch apps. Pause, resume, and save when you are ready.

TURN DEVICE AUDIO INTO TEXT
Use the system broadcast controls to transcribe permitted audio playing on your device, including courses and videos. Available audio depends on system and source-app restrictions.

TRANSCRIBE RECORDINGS, VIDEOS, AND LINKS
Import recordings, audio files, or videos from Files or Photos. You can also send media from other apps through the share sheet.

Paste a supported public video link, including TikTok, to transcribe its speech without manually saving the video first. Resolving links and downloading media requires internet access; transcription then runs on your device.

LISTEN BACK, EDIT, AND SHARE
Transcripts are saved to History. Edit titles and text, play or loop the associated audio, and seek through recordings to check the wording. Copy the text or share a text file or the original audio.

MULTILINGUAL TRANSCRIPTION
Supported transcription languages include Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian Bokmål, Thai, Vietnamese, and Turkish.

Select the language spoken in your recording. Available languages and regional variants are shown in the app and depend on your device, system version, and Apple’s speech models.

Before you start:
- Requires iOS 26 or later.
- Video links must be public, accessible, and supported. Check the app for supported platforms.
- Audio quality, accents, and background noise affect results. Listen back to check important details.
