Smart Voice Recorder vs Open Summary

Transcribe. Search. Privately. Smart Voice writes down every word as you speak, on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, nothing uploaded. Turn on airplane mode and it keeps transcribing. DICTATE INTO ANY APP The Smart Voice keyboard writes what you say into Messages, Mail, Notes or any other app, cleaned up as you go: fillers out, punctuation in. Your voice never leaves your iPhone. Turn it on in Settings › Apps › Smart Voice › Keyboards. BUILT INTO YOUR IPHONE Smart Voice runs on Apple's own speech engine, part of iOS: native, fast and efficient. No gigabyte model squeezed into an app. Words appear about a second after you say them. NEVER LOSE A RECORDING Audio is saved every few seconds as you record. A crash, a call or a dead battery: the recording is still there. FIND ANY WORD Search every recording. Tap a word to hear the moment it was said. WHO SAID WHAT Speakers are labeled. Name a voice once and Smart Voice can recognize it next time. NOTES WHEN YOU STOP A summary, decisions and to-dos, each linked to the line it came from. Made on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence. EDIT LIKE TEXT Delete a word and the audio follows. Cut the ums, bleep a name. Infinite undo; the original is never touched. SHARE ANY MOMENT Turn a line into a clip and send it anywhere. Or export the text, subtitles (SRT, VTT) or the audio. 99 LANGUAGES 25 with Apple's own speech engine, and the rest with Whisper, on your iPhone. EVERYWHERE YOU RECORD iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Start from the Action button, Control Center or the Lock Screen. Import audio and video from other apps. SMARTVOICE PRO Free writes the words of the first 5 minutes of every recording and keeps all of the audio. Pro writes every word, however long, and keeps one library on every device through your iCloud.

Open Summary turns your meetings into clean, shareable minutes — and keeps everything on your device. It records a meeting in parts, transcribes each part, stitches them together, and summarises the result into well-structured Markdown meeting minutes you can share or export. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No backend and no accounts. We run no servers and collect no data. • Your audio, transcripts, and minutes are stored as plain, human-readable files on your device — visible in the Files app. • Your API keys live in the iOS keychain and are never logged. • Audio and requests go straight from your device to the provider you choose. Nothing passes through us, because there's nothing to pass through. BRING YOUR OWN PROVIDER • Start free: Groq's free tier does both transcription and summarisation on a single key — no credit card. • Or use OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, a self-hosted Whisper server, or Ollama. • Works with any OpenAI-compatible transcription endpoint and with Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint. • Built-in cost estimates help you pick a model with no surprises. BUILT FOR REAL MEETINGS • Background recording — keeps going when the app is backgrounded or your phone is locked. • Import existing audio and add it to a meeting. • Long recordings are automatically split for transcription on audio boundaries (no re-encoding, no quality loss). • Edit transcripts and name speakers before summarising. • Choose your summary language. EXPORT AND SHARE • Share or copy minutes as Markdown or PDF. • Export a whole meeting — or all your meetings as a backup — as a single ZIP bundle. Open Summary is for anyone who wants useful meeting notes without handing their conversations to yet another cloud service.
