Transcription Keeper turns what you say into text you can keep and share. KNOWS WHO SAID WHAT In Meeting mode, tell it how many people are talking. Your transcript comes back sorted by speaker: Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on. Labels are a best guess, and you can correct them afterwards. The voice sorting happens on your iPhone. TWO WAYS TO RECORD • Meeting: tap once to record a conversation, a class, or an appointment, and tap again to stop. • PTT (push to talk): hold the button, speak, and let go. Slide down to cancel. HEAR THE ROOM BEFORE YOU START A live audio level meter shows how loud the room is, and a sensitivity slider lets you set how loud speech must be to count. SHARE IT YOUR WAY Share the transcript as text, or share the original audio recording, to Messages, Mail, Files, AirDrop, and more. Built for iOS 26.
