Apograph turns speech into text on your iPhone ā and only there. Recordings, transcripts and speaker labels never leave the device. No account, no server, no analytics. RECORD OR IMPORT ⢠Tap record, ask Siri, or use the Control Center tile or the Action button. ⢠Import audio or video ā a Voice Memo, a meeting, a saved lecture ā from Files, Photos or the share sheet. ⢠Auto-stop ends a long recording at the minute you set ā and before the iPhone runs out of space, the capture stops itself, saved and transcribed. ⢠A Live Activity shows the running timer ā and, with Auto-stop, when the recording will end ā with a Stop control on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. TRANSCRIBED ON THE DEVICE ⢠OpenAI Whisper models run locally on the iPhone's GPU. Works in Airplane Mode. ⢠99 languages, detected automatically ā including languages the iPhone's built-in transcription doesn't support. ⢠Three model tiers: Fast ships with the app; Balanced and Best download once and stay on the device. ⢠Stable decoding ā no random temperature drift between runs. A TRANSCRIPT YOU CAN WORK WITH ⢠Timed sentences: tap any sentence to hear just that passage. ⢠Edit the transcript in place ā fix a word, a name, a whole sentence. ⢠A spell checker that learns your names and terms ā remembered words are fed back to the model. ⢠Retranscribe a sentence ā or the whole recording ā with the Best model, and compare before replacing anything. ⢠Export as text, Markdown or PDF. Copy or share with one tap. YOUR FILES, IN FILES Every recording is a plain folder in the Files app ā audio, metadata and transcript.txt ā with readable date names. Store them in any folder you choose. They are yours. APOGRAPH PRO ā ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION ⢠Best model: the highest transcription accuracy. ⢠Speaker separation (diarization): who said what ā the voices within a recording are told apart on the device, labeled for you to rename, and carried into every export. It never identifies whose voice it is. ⢠Subtitle export: SRT and WebVTT with real timings. ⢠Unlimited Best re-transcriptions ā whole recordings or single sentences. Free includes unlimited recordings, the Fast and Balanced models, every language, text, Markdown and PDF export, and the Best model on five recordings ā full or per-section. PRIVACY The app contains no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs. The only network traffic is fetching the model catalog, downloading a model you chose, and the App Store handling your purchase. Full policy: getapograph.io/privacy Requires iOS 18.6 or later. The Best model needs more memory than some iPhones have; the model picker tells you which tiers fit before you download anything.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: memoChica at none against Apograph's 1. memoChica also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.6). Apograph's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
