Turn what you say into notes you can find again. OneVoice is a private audio recorder and speech-to-text notebook for meetings, lectures, interviews, and everyday ideas. Search your transcripts, then replay the original recording to check the details. • Record and transcribe with Apple on-device speech recognition. Supported languages and devices may need system language assets first. Additional offline models are an optional download. • Replay and organize recordings, search transcript content, edit text, rename notes, and pin important notes. • Work in a native iPad split view. Export TXT, timed SRT or a ZIP of your library, dictionary and optional local audio. Edited text keeps the original audio; its old sentence timestamps are not reused. • Create dictionary replacements for names, brands, and technical terms. • Sync voice notes and dictionary replacements between iPhone, iPad and Mac through your private iCloud database. Use the same iCloud account; synchronization requires a connection. Turn sync off to keep new notes on this device. • No OneVoice account and no OneVoice-operated audio processing server. Start from a Home Screen widget, the app icon quick action, or Shortcuts. Record on Apple Watch and transfer to your paired iPhone for transcription. Find the Mac download link in Settings. Save 5 recordings or imports free each day. Canceled recordings do not count, and retranscribing a saved note does not use another allowance. Annual and Lifetime Membership remove the daily limit. Eligible annual subscribers can try Pro free for 7 days. Eligibility and localized prices are shown by the App Store before purchase. Annual Membership renews automatically. Cancel future renewal anytime in App Store account settings, at least 24 hours before the trial or subscription period ends to avoid the next charge. Lifetime Membership is a one-time purchase. Apple determines refund eligibility; canceling renewal does not automatically issue a refund. Privacy: https://oneapps.studio/privacy Terms: https://oneapps.studio/terms Support: https://oneapps.studio/support APPLE WATCH LIBRARY Replay audio on your watch, view transcript previews, and resend individual recordings to iPhone. Pending recordings remain on Watch until iPhone confirms saving them. Confirmed audio defaults to 7 days with a 512 MB cleanup target. Automatic cleanup protects the first 24 hours and requires a fresh integrity check of the iPhone copy. Pending audio is never removed automatically. Adjust retention or verify and clear confirmed audio in Watch Settings. Audio still stored on iPhone can be requested again for watch playback. Playback routing depends on your watch and connected audio devices. The iPhone app supports iOS 17+. Watch features require watchOS 11+ and a paired iPhone that meets Apple’s requirements for that watchOS version.
