SpeakSense
Read full descriptionHide full description
Record a meeting, a lecture, an interview or a passing idea — and get the text without sending a second of audio to anyone's server. SpeakSense records, transcribes and organizes entirely on your iPhone. Speech becomes text using your device's own speech models, so there is no account to create, nothing to upload, and no waiting on a connection. Once iOS has installed the language you work in, transcription keeps running in airplane mode. RECORD • A live level meter while you record, so you can see you are actually being picked up • Watch the transcript appear as you speak — or switch it off and transcribe later • Keep every take: recordings save themselves with a generated title, filed in the category you used last • Set your own title format TRANSCRIBE • Transcribe any recording, with real progress instead of an endless spinner • Import audio or video from Files or iCloud Drive and transcribe that too • Choose your transcription language from the ones your device supports; recent choices stay at the top • The transcript is fully editable — fix a name or a number in place • Tap any timestamp to send the audio straight to that sentence ORGANIZE • File notes into categories you create, and search across every transcript • Rename notes, show or hide timestamps, copy a whole transcript at once • See what your recordings take up and clear space from inside the app SHARE • Send the transcript as text, or the original audio file, anywhere iOS can share • Optional iCloud backup, off by default — and it is your own private iCloud PREMIUM Recording and transcription are free and unlimited. A subscription adds: • Transcript translation — each sentence translated and placed beneath the original, running on device through Apple's translation, so your words are never sent to a translation service. Export the original and the translation together, with timecodes. • Pro themes for the recording and notes screens • Support for continued development PRIVACY No account. No ads and no advertising identifiers. Your recordings and transcripts stay on your device unless you choose to share them, and translation stays on device as well.

Record the conversation. Get a transcript that says who said what. Nothing ever leaves your phone. Interview is a recorder for conversations that can't leak: client meetings, interviews, research sessions, anything you'd rather keep to yourself. Tap Record, talk, tap Done. Minutes later you have a transcript with every line labeled by the person who said it. All of it happens on your phone. No account, no servers, no upload. The only way an interview leaves your phone is when you share it yourself. KNOWS WHO'S TALKING Interview tells the voices in the room apart and labels every line. Name a speaker once and everything they said is labeled. If it isn't sure, it asks instead of guessing. REMEMBERS THE PEOPLE YOU INTERVIEW Name someone once and Interview recognizes them next time. It learns your own voice during setup, so you're labeled automatically. Remembered voices are yours to delete, any time. SHARE ON YOUR TERMS Send the transcript as text, Markdown, Word or PDF, with or without the audio. Nothing is shared until you choose to. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Transcribes English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese, and picks the language on its own. Some languages need a one-time download from Apple the first time. ALREADY HAVE A RECORDING? Import audio or video and get the same transcript. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-in • No servers, no upload • Delete means gone Made for anyone who cares about privacy. Lawyers, journalists and researchers use it, and so can anyone who'd rather keep a conversation their own. Requires an iPhone with Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later).

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Interview at every 3 days against SpeakSense's every 8 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
