Turn talk into text. TalkDraft turns conversations into timestamped, searchable transcripts you can replay, edit, and export. Record meetings, interviews, lectures, and voice notes. Transcribe in Mandarin or U.S. English, with on-device transcription when supported. A meeting ends, but the decision you need is buried in an hour of audio? β†’ Record as you speak, then tap a timestamp or waveform to jump straight back to the original moment. An interview has one key answer you cannot afford to lose? β†’ Highlight keywords, search the full transcript, add bookmarks, and label speakers to find what matters quickly. Need to turn an existing audio file into something you can share? β†’ Import audio, trim a clip, edit the transcript, and export TXT, SRT captions, Markdown, or Word documents. Need more than a transcript? β†’ With your confirmation, AI Notes can turn a transcript into an overview, decisions, action items, key discussion points, and transcript-based Q&A. Audio is never uploaded for AI features. Private by default. TalkDraft does not require an account. Recordings and system-supported transcription stay on your device by default. Before transcript text is shared with an AI service, TalkDraft asks for your confirmation. Your audio files and voice profiles are not sent for AI features. Free includes unlimited recording, on-device transcription, playback, plain-text export, and one AI meeting summary. TalkDraft Pro is a one-time purchase with no subscription. Unlock ongoing AI Notes and Q&A, SRT and Word exports, speaker tools, transcript editing, and playback speed controls. Download TalkDraft, tap Record, and turn your next important conversation into notes you can use. No account required.
