Record or import audio and video and get clean text back, right on your iPhone. Because the transcription runs on the device, it's fast and it works with no signal. Works without the cloud Your recordings stay with you. No upload, no account, nothing to sign into. You can keep airplane mode on from start to finish and Saylen still works. The audio and the transcript never leave your phone ā which matters when the recording is an interview, a client call, or anything you wouldn't hand to a server you don't control. Who it's for ⢠Journalists and researchers transcribing interviews ⢠Students turning lectures into notes they can search ⢠Anyone who records meetings and needs the text afterward ⢠Podcasters and creators who need subtitles ⢠People who think out loud on a walk and want it written down How it works Record straight into the app, or import a file you already have ā audio or video. Saylen transcribes it on the device, shows you real progress while it works instead of a spinner, and hands you text you can read, search, edit, and export. Long files are the point: it won't give up on a two-hour recording. Languages Around 99 languages. Let Saylen detect the language automatically, or choose it yourself before you start. Export ⢠Plain text ā free, on every tier ⢠SRT and VTT subtitles, PDF, Word, and Markdown ā with Pro Plans ⢠Free: every language, 5 hours each month ⢠Pro: unlimited hours plus premium export, as a monthly or yearly plan ⢠Lifetime: pay once and skip the subscription for good Free and Pro differ in hours, not quality. The transcript is exactly the same on both ā paying gets you more time, not a better result. A note on privacy The on-device promise is about your content: your audio and your transcripts stay on the device and are never uploaded. The app itself uses anonymous usage stats to find what's broken and improve, but those never include your recordings. Questions ⢠Does it work offline? Yes, completely. Airplane mode is fine. ⢠Do I need an account? No. There's nothing to sign up for. ⢠What can it open? Most common audio and video files, plus recordings you make in the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://vprkh.dev/saylen/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://vprkh.dev/saylen/privacy-policy/
