Turn audio, video and voice notes into clear text, with every speaker identified and an automatic summary. Transcriptor requires a subscription. The yearly plan starts with 7 days free for eligible new subscribers. The weekly plan has no free trial. SEE IT BEFORE YOU SUBSCRIBE โ€ข A real example in your language, clearly labeled as an example, shows how a conversation looks as text TRANSCRIBE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE โ€ข Import audio and video files: m4a, mp3, wav, mp4, voice notes and more โ€ข Open audio files from Files and other apps straight in Transcriptor โ€ข Paste a public link to your own files in Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, or a direct link, up to 200 MB โ€ข Paste a link to a public online video up to 3 hours. Our server gets the audio, transcribes it and deletes it, and only the text reaches your iPhone. Online videos are transcribed without speakers or audio playback. Use only content you own or have the right to use. RECORD MEETINGS AND VOICE NOTES โ€ข Record meetings, classes and voice notes, also with the screen locked โ€ข Up to 3 hours per part, then it continues in part 2 on its own โ€ข Saved as you record and recovered after an unexpected close EVERY SPEAKER, CLEARLY โ€ข Cloud transcription with top accuracy and automatic language detection โ€ข Every speaker identified, in colored bubbles with timestamps โ€ข Hear a clip of a voice and name the speaker, and the name updates everywhere โ€ข Tap any line to jump to that moment in the audio โ€ข Search by title, text or speaker AUTOMATIC SUMMARY โ€ข Key points and tasks, ready after each cloud transcription โ€ข In the language of the audio or in your app language EXPORT AND SHARE โ€ข PDF, TXT, SRT and VTT subtitles, or JSON YOUR PRIVACY, YOUR CHOICE โ€ข Cloud mode, only after you agree: your audio is sent to Groq to be transcribed and the text to Anthropic for summaries. Our server doesn't keep your audio or your text. โ€ข Private mode: everything stays on this iPhone. Slower and less accurate. โ€ข No account and no ads. IN YOUR LANGUAGE โ€ข 17 languages, now including Arabic with a full right-to-left layout. ABOUT THE SUBSCRIPTION โ€ข Transcriptor Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, yearly or weekly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends if you start one. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in Settings > your name > Subscriptions. Prices are shown in the app before you confirm. โ€ข If you allow notifications, we remind you 2 days before your trial ends. โ€ข You can make a recording before you subscribe. It stays only on your iPhone and is kept if you subscribe. If you don't, it's deleted after a final reminder. Recordings started with an active subscription are always kept. โ€ข Without a subscription, the transcripts you already have stay available to read, search and export as TXT. โ€ข Fair use: the cloud is designed for heavy personal use. If a period is extremely heavy, transcription keeps working on your iPhone until the next one.
