Audio Copilot records, transcribes, summarizes, and organizes what's said, right on your iPhone. Hours-long meetings, WhatsApp voice messages, or an idea on the fly: you talk, and Audio Copilot turns it into text, notes, lists, and tasks. RECORD FOR HOURS WITH YOUR IPHONE LOCKED - Meetings, classes, and interviews up to 4 hours long and with the screen locked. - Start from Control Center, the Action Button, a widget, or Siri. - Follow the recording in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen; pause or mark key moments. - Recording recovery: if a call comes in or the app closes, your audio is kept and recovered. WHO SAID WHAT - Tells each person apart, and you can put a name to every voice. - Full transcript synced to the audio: tap a sentence to hear it. NOTES READY WHEN YOU'RE DONE - Summary, key points, decisions, action items with owners and due dates, open questions, and agenda. - A follow-up message ready to send to your team. - Export as Markdown, TXT, or SRT subtitles. SPEAK AND STAY ORGANIZED - Talk through an idea however it comes out: it's saved with a title and key points. - Come back to the same topic another day and it's merged with what you already said. - Say “add bread and coffee to my shopping list” and it's added to your list. - Say “remind me to call Josh tomorrow at 10” and you'll get the task with its reminder. WHATSAPP VOICE MESSAGES TO TEXT - Share a voice message from WhatsApp, Telegram, or any app. - Read the transcript, the summary, what's being asked of you, and a reply ready to copy. - Import MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, Opus, and other formats.
