Shruta

Shruta records conversations on iPhone and Apple Watch, creates speaker-labeled transcripts on your device, and seals your content behind a passcode-derived key. There is no Shruta account or cloud backend for your content. FAIR PRICING β’ Try Shruta free: your first 7 recordings, with every feature included. β’ One purchase unlocks unlimited recordings. No subscription. No ads. RECORD, TRANSCRIBE, KNOW WHO SAID WHAT β’ Record conversations on your iPhone, or straight from your wrist with the Apple Watch app. β’ Transcription runs entirely on your device β in English, Dutch, and German, with regional English and German variants. β’ Speaker labels show who said what. Correct a label once and Shruta applies it across the conversation. If the automatic speaker count is off, reprocess with the exact number of participants β no re-transcription needed. β’ Optional Voice ID: name a voice once and Shruta can recognise it in later recordings. Opt-in, stored only on your device, deletable any time. SEALED, NOT JUST LOCKED β’ Your password or passcode is turned into an encryption key using Argon2id; content is sealed with AES-256-GCM. β’ No account or remote reset. Spookwerk has no backdoor and cannot recover your content. While an already-unlocked vault has its key in memory, device-owner authentication can authorise a local password change. β’ Face ID / Touch ID unlock is optional, for convenience. The app locks itself when you leave it. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE β’ Audio and transcripts are processed on-device and never uploaded for processing. There is no content sync. β’ No analytics, trackers, advertising, or third-party analytics SDKs. Zero data collection. β’ Content leaves Shruta only when you explicitly export it: copy a transcript, or share it as PDF or text. The export menu marks this boundary clearly. APPLE WATCH β’ Start and stop recordings from your watch. Audio moves to your paired iPhone over WatchConnectivity and is sealed there. Requires your iPhone nearby with Shruta set up. Shruta (Sanskrit: βthat which was heardβ) is built in the Netherlands by Spookwerk for conversations that deserve to stay between the people who had them: medical appointments, difficult talks, interviews, coaching sessions, and everything you would rather not hand to a cloud. The first use of a speech feature may download on-device model assets. Once the required models are present, processing works offline.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Correctbook App at none against Shruta's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
