Turn a recording into text you can review, edit, copy, share, and export. Jusstalk is designed for quick voice notes, meetings, interviews, lectures, and ideas you would rather speak than type. The app interface is currently available in French. CHOOSE HOW YOU USE MISTRAL β€’ Managed access: get three transcriptions, then unlock the Jusstalk-managed service with one non-consumable in-app purchase. There is no subscription and no additional metered Jusstalk charge. β€’ Bring your own key: you can also add and validate a personal Mistral API key, then use Jusstalk without an app purchase or an app-imposed transcription count. Your Mistral credits, prices, quotas, and rate limits still apply. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE WORKFLOW β€’ Record from one clear control. β€’ Keep an offline recording on your device until a connection returns. β€’ Review and correct the transcription. β€’ Copy or share the result. β€’ Export TXT, Markdown, JSON, PDF, DOCX, HTML, RTF, or CSV. β€’ Restore your one-time purchase on another eligible device. PRIVACY, EXPLAINED Jusstalk requires microphone access only when you choose to record. Saved transcriptions, pending recordings, and preferences remain on your device. A personal Mistral key is stored in the Apple Keychain and requests go directly to Mistral. Trial and purchased managed requests use Jusstalk’s secure relay before being forwarded to Mistral. Jusstalk has no ads, analytics, or cross-app tracking. AI transcription can contain errors. Review important text before relying on it.
