Our server doesn't keep your audio or your text. • Private mode: everything stays on this iPhone. Slower and less accurate. • No account and no ads. IN YOUR LANGUAGE • 17 languages, now including Arabic with a full right-to-left layout. ABOUT THE SUBSCRIPTION • 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. • If you allow notifications, we remind you 2 days before your trial ends. • 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. • Without a subscription, the transcripts you already have stay available to read, search and export as TXT. • 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.
