Read your voice messages instead of listening to them. Share a voice note to the app, and a few seconds later the text is on screen, ready to copy into a reply or share as a .txt file. HOW IT WORKS 1. Long-press a voice note in your chat app, tap Share, then "Copy to Voice to Text". Or pick any .opus, .m4a, .mp3 or .wav file from Files 2. The language is detected automatically; around 100 languages are supported 3. Read the transcript, tap Copy, or Share .txt Transcription runs entirely on your iPhone using a speech-recognition model that ships inside the app. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and it works with no internet connection at all. WHY IT IS DIFFERENT Most transcription apps send your audio to a server and charge a monthly subscription. This one does neither: your first 3 transcriptions are free, then a single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited use, and your recordings stay on your phone. It is built for voice notes you already have, from any chat app, in any language, on any iPhone, with no regional restrictions. BUILT FOR ⢠Reading voice notes in meetings, on the train, in a library ⢠Voice messages in a language the built-in transcript does not cover ⢠Keeping a searchable text copy of important messages ⢠Voice memos, voicemail and interview recordings PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠100% on-device speech recognition ⢠Works in airplane mode ⢠No account, no sign-up, no analytics ⢠Your audio and your transcripts never leave your phone Free to download, with 3 transcriptions included. After that, one one-time purchase unlocks unlimited transcriptions. No subscription, ever. Voice Note to Text: Offline is an independent utility. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected with WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc. WhatsApp is a registered trademark of Meta Platforms, Inc.
