Audiscript turns speech into text entirely on your iPhone. No internet, no account, no subscription — your recordings never leave your device. Most transcription apps upload your audio to a server. Audiscript does not. The AI model runs on your device's Neural Engine, so transcription works on a plane, in a basement, or with Airplane Mode switched on. Nobody — including us — can ever hear your recordings. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Record and transcribe in 32 languages, fully offline • See who said what with automatic speaker labels (Pro) • Search every word across all your recordings and jump straight to the moment it was said • Tap any line to fix a name or a typo • Organise recordings into colour-coded folders • Export to TXT, SRT and VTT — free for everyone • Export to Markdown and PDF (Pro) BUILT ON WHISPER, RUNNING ON APPLE SILICON Audiscript uses OpenAI's Whisper models converted to Core ML. A model ships inside the app, so transcription works from the very first launch — no download, no setup, no waiting. Want more accuracy? Download a larger model, up to next-generation Large V3 Turbo (Pro). SUBTITLES IN ONE TAP Every transcript carries timestamps, so SRT and WebVTT export is always one tap away — ready for YouTube, Premiere, Final Cut or any editor. Free, no watermark, no export limit. PRIVACY, NOT AS A FEATURE — AS THE ARCHITECTURE • No account, no sign-up, no email address • Your audio is never uploaded, because there is no server to upload it to • Everything works in Airplane Mode FREE • Unlimited recordings, up to 1 minute each • Base and Small AI models • TXT, SRT and VTT export • Supported by ads AUDISCRIPT PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE • Record up to 2 hours • Every AI model, including Large V3 Turbo • Automatic speaker identification • Markdown and PDF export • No ads No subscription.
