Turn your voice into text. Talkzo records your voice and turns it into text with AI. Record lectures, meetings, interviews or a quick idea. When you stop recording, Talkzo transcribes it, marks who spoke and gives the note a title that fits the topic. ▸ RECORD OR IMPORT Record in the app, from a widget on the Home Screen or Lock Screen, or from Control Center. Import audio files (m4a, mp3, wav, ogg/opus, flac) or send them to Talkzo from other apps with the Share button. ▸ TRANSCRIPTION BY SPEAKER The language is detected automatically. When several people speak, the text is split by speaker, so you can see who said what. ▸ TEXT THAT FOLLOWS THE AUDIO During playback, words light up as they are spoken. Tap any word to jump to that moment. ▸ WORKS IN THE BACKGROUND Lock your iPhone or switch apps: the upload keeps going. No connection? Talkzo waits for the internet and continues on its own.
