Record voice and text notes, import audio, photos and documents, extract text, and search your library on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Export or back up your notes and optionally sync your library with iCloud. Local note-taking and search work without a NoteLink account. Apple handles supported on-device transcription and processing. For Czech and other supported languages, optional cloud transcription and analysis use NoteLink's Firebase/Google Cloud backend and Google Vertex AI Gemini after sign-in and informed permission. Cloud transcription runs after recording; live captions depend on Apple's supported languages. Cloud transcription and analysis require internet access and available credits. Cloud AI is an optional monthly auto-renewable subscription that adds 100 non-expiring credits for each paid renewal. An optional one-time purchase adds 100 credits without a subscription. Unused purchased credits accumulate and remain available after cancellation or subscription expiry. Cloud transcription uses 1 credit per started minute of audio; each cloud AI analysis uses 1 credit. Long recordings show the remaining credit estimate. There are no automatic usage overage charges. Prices are shown in your App Store currency before purchase. Manage or cancel the subscription through your Apple Account settings. Cloud permission also enables background note and attachment replication and optional sharing; you can withdraw it in Settings. Export your backend data or request cloud-account deletion in Settings. Account deletion preserves local notes and your iCloud library. Read the privacy policy for data recipients, storage, diagnostics and retention.

Sayble

Speak the way you think. Sayble turns spoken words into text you can send without editing. Dictation gives you words. Sayble gives you finished sentences: the "um" and "uh" are gone, the stutters are collapsed, the sentence you restarted halfway is resolved, and the punctuation is there. It works inside your keyboard, so it works everywhere you type. WHAT IT FIXES • Filler words — "um", "uh", "you know", 嗯, 呃 • Stutters and repeated words — "I I I think" • Mid-sentence corrections — say "three o'clock, no, four" and you get four • Missing punctuation, including commas and question marks • Run-on speech, broken into readable sentences and paragraphs • Spoken lists — "first... second... third" becomes a numbered list YOU CHOOSE HOW MUCH IT CHANGES • Verbatim — your exact words, punctuation only • Smart — removes filler, stutters, and corrections • Polished — also improves phrasing and tone No mode invents facts, numbers, or commitments you did not say. REWRITE WHAT'S ALREADY THERE Select text and pick an action: Proofread, Concise, Formal, Friendly, or Bullets. Or say what you want changed. Every rewrite shows a preview first, and Undo restores the original. WRITE IT FROM SCRATCH Empty field? Say what you need — "tell my colleague I'm off tomorrow" — and get the finished message, ready to send. CLEAN UP WHILE YOU TYPE Optional: fillers, stutters, and duplicated words disappear shortly after you pause. Wording, punctuation, and numbers are never changed silently, and the word you're still typing is left alone. SNIPPETS Save addresses, signatures, and standard replies once, insert them from the keyboard with one tap. PERSONAL DICTIONARY Add names, product names, and technical terms so they come out right. You can see and delete every entry — nothing is learned silently. CHINESE AND ENGLISH Built for both, including mixed input. Spacing between Chinese and Latin text is handled automatically. Interface language and recognition language are independent. PRIVACY • No audio recorded. Keyboard dictation uses Apple's built-in iOS dictation, and the Sayble keyboard does not request microphone access • Only text is processed • No account, no sign-in, no email • No ads, no third-party analytics, no tracking • History, snippets, and dictionary stay on your device, and history can be cleared anytime • The original transcript is always recoverable REQUIREMENTS The keyboard needs Allow Full Access for cloud refinement and for sharing snippets with the app. Password fields always use Apple's secure keyboard — iOS does not allow third-party keyboards there.
