Audiscript turns speech into text entirely on your iPhone. No internet, no account, no subscription โ 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 โ including us โ can ever hear your recordings. WHAT YOU CAN DO โข Record and transcribe in 32 languages, fully offline โข See who said what with automatic speaker labels (Pro) โข Search every word across all your recordings and jump straight to the moment it was said โข Tap any line to fix a name or a typo โข Organise recordings into colour-coded folders โข Export to TXT, SRT and VTT โ free for everyone โข Export to Markdown and PDF (Pro) BUILT ON WHISPER, RUNNING ON APPLE SILICON Audiscript uses open-source Whisper speech recognition models, converted to Core ML and run entirely on your device. A model ships inside the app, so transcription works from the very first launch โ 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 โ ready for YouTube, Premiere, Final Cut or any editor. Free, no watermark, no export limit. PRIVACY, NOT AS A FEATURE โ AS THE ARCHITECTURE โข No account, no sign-up, no email address โข Your audio is never uploaded, because there is no server to upload it to โข Everything works in Airplane Mode FREE โข Unlimited recordings, up to 1 minute each โข Base and Small AI models โข TXT, SRT and VTT export โข Supported by ads AUDISCRIPT PRO โ ONE-TIME PURCHASE โข Record up to 2 hours โข Every AI model, including Large V3 Turbo โข Automatic speaker identification โข Markdown and PDF export โข No ads No subscription. Pay once, keep it forever. GOOD TO KNOW Audiscript records audio inside the app. It does not import existing audio or video files. The app interface is in English.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ash at none against Audiscript's 1. Ash also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Audiscript's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
