MemoShot turns your photos into complete, documented records - with voice memos, text notes, automatic transcription, and PDF export built in. Whether you're documenting a property inspection, capturing field research, or logging anything that needs both a visual and a verbal note, MemoShot keeps it all in one place. How it works Take or import as many photos as one record needs, then add your observations as voice memos or typed notes. Let MemoShot transcribe the audio to text. Organize records into folders, then export an entire folder as a clean PDF report - ready to share, file, or print. Built-in camera Shoot several photos in a row without leaving the camera. Flash, tap to focus, pinch to zoom, and a front camera when you need it. Review what you captured and drop anything you don't want before it reaches the record. Notes, your way - Voice memos with automatic transcription - Typed text notes when speaking isn't practical - Several notes per record, kept in the order you added them - Delete a recording and keep its transcription as a text note Voice-to-text transcription Choose how you transcribe: - Apple on-device transcription - free, private, works offline, no setup required - OpenAI Whisper - higher accuracy, supports more languages, uses your own API key Tidy up dictated notes Clean up the punctuation and capitalisation in a dictated note without changing what it says. Your wording is checked word by word, and anything that alters the meaning is flagged before you accept it. Runs on device where Apple Intelligence is available, or through your own OpenAI key. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose an OpenAI feature - and then only the audio, or the single note you asked to tidy. Organized from the start Group records into folders by project, location, date - whatever makes sense for your workflow. Name individual records so you can find them again. Sort folders by recently used or date created. Move records between folders at any time. Export as PDF Generate a report from any folder with one tap. Every photo gets its own page, with the record's notes following. Perfect for insurance claims, inspection reports, research logs, or any situation where you need documentation that holds up. Built for real work - Multiple photos and multiple notes in a single record - Transcriptions are preserved when you delete the audio - Edit any transcription or note by hand - Full-screen zoomable photo viewer - No account, no subscription, no cloud required MemoShot is for anyone who documents with photos and needs more than just a picture.
