[A kitchen knife for video, and a scribe for your practice] The iOS app that extracts just your instrument performance now also records your sessions. ■ Cut the performance (free) Solo or ensemble recordings pick up conversation. ToneCut trims away the unnecessary parts and exports the performance in original quality (no re-encoding). - Record: faithful instrument dynamics - Cut: adjust the volume threshold on the waveform - Export: save to Photos in original quality ■ Transcription (free, on-device) Turn your video or audio into text on the spot. No network, no API key - everything stays on your device (private by design). Choose the spoken language to handle many languages, lessons and conversations. - Requires iPhone 12 or later and iOS 26 or later ■ AI minutes (Pro) Turn the transcript into clean minutes. The tone adapts to the content - lesson, rehearsal, recital, event, or meeting. Small talk is kept where possible, so you capture the feel of the moment. - Choose the minutes language: keep the transcript in the original language and write the minutes in another (summary with translation) - Save/share minutes as Markdown or PDF ■ Audio files too Import recording-only practice files. Cutting and transcription work through the same flow as video. ■ Custom file names Name the exported video, audio, minutes (PDF) and transcript however you like. ■ Settings - Video quality: Light (720p) / Standard (1080p) / High (4K) - Instrument range: High / Standard / Low - Audio mode: Preserve dynamics / Prevent clipping - Spoken language / Minutes language / Display language ■ Privacy Transcription runs on-device and is not transmitted. Only when you use AI minutes, the transcript text is sent (via our server) to an AI (Claude) to generate the summary. The audio/video itself is never sent. The text is not stored on the server afterward. [Pricing] - Cutting and transcription are free. - AI minutes include a one-time 60-minute free trial. To keep using it, subscribe to Pro.
