About

WhisperNote

Features

WhisperNote turns what you whisper into text β€” and ignores a normal speaking voice. Tap Start listening and whisper. WhisperNote watches the microphone for the sound of whispered speech β€” quiet, breathy, mostly high frequencies β€” and turns only your whispers into words. Tap Save memo and the transcript is kept. Perfect for the moments where speaking a note aloud would wake the baby, annoy the librarian, or feel weird in a shared room. WHAT'S INSIDE β€’ A live speech bubble that pulses when the detector picks up a whisper, with the words appearing as you whisper. β€’ On-device transcription with Apple's Speech framework β€” your words turn into text without leaving the phone. β€’ A Memos list you can rename and delete. β€’ Stats: daily streak, whispered seconds, last seven days. LANGUAGES Transcription uses your iPhone's on-device speech recognition, in the language of your iPhone. Where iOS has no on-device recognition for a language, WhisperNote says so and saves the memo without text. FREE AND PRO Whispering, transcription and your ten newest memos are free. WhisperNote Pro, a one-time in-app purchase, unlocks your full memo history. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. Audio is analysed and transcribed on your iPhone, and the audio itself is never saved or sent β€” WhisperNote keeps the text. Your memos stay on your iPhone, and deleting the app deletes them. THREE SENSITIVITY MODES β€’ Strict β€” only the quietest whispers trigger. Best for silent rooms. β€’ Default β€” for a typical quiet room. β€’ Permissive β€” activates sooner. Useful with a fan or background hum. Memos that respect your room.
