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. โธ 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. โธ 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. โธ TEXT THAT FOLLOWS THE AUDIO During playback, words light up as they are spoken. Tap any word to jump to that moment. โธ 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.

Voice Notes
Read full descriptionHide full description
Voice Notes turns anything you record into an accurate, searchable transcript โ and it does the whole job on your iPhone. Tap record to capture a meeting, lecture, interview or a quick idea; when you stop, the app transcribes the audio on-device using Apple's speech recognition, so your voice never leaves the phone and never touches a server. Every recording becomes a timestamped transcript you can actually use. Tap any line to jump straight to that moment in the audio and hear it. Search across your entire archive to find that one thing someone said. One tap pulls out the key points โ names, dates and the most important sentences. Export any transcript as a text file to share or drop into your notes. A weekly chart shows how much you've recorded, and an optional daily reminder helps you build the habit. Unlimited recordings, unlimited transcription, complete privacy โ a subscription unlocks the full app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
