Read full description

Turn a lecture you sat through into notes you can actually read. The Transcriptionist records a class, transcribes it, and reorganises the result into clean study notes with headings, short paragraphs, and bullet lists. No retyping, no scrubbing back through an hour of audio to find the one thing the professor said that mattered. RECORD OR IMPORT Hit record at the start of class and watch the live waveform confirm you are actually capturing audio. Already have a recording? Import any audio file from your device and transcribe that instead. Long recordings are handled in segments, so a full lecture works, not just a short clip. TRANSCRIPTION ON YOUR DEVICE Speech-to-text uses Apple's own speech frameworks. On iOS 26 the transcription runs entirely on your iPhone. Your recordings are never uploaded to us. NOTES, NOT A WALL OF TEXT A raw transcript is close to unreadable: no punctuation you can trust, every "um" and "so basically" preserved, one endless paragraph. The Transcriptionist runs a formatting pass that cleans up the grammar, drops the filler, and splits the content into sections that follow how the lecture was actually taught. Your professor's wording and technical terms stay intact — nothing is invented or summarised away. If that formatting pass is unavailable, the app falls back to formatting your notes on-device using pauses and sentence structure. You always get readable output, never an error and an empty screen. YOUR LIBRARY, STORED LOCALLY Every finished lecture is saved on your iPhone and grouped by day, so this morning's class is one tap away. Open a lecture to read the full notes, rename it to something you will recognise in three weeks, or copy the text out to any other app. Nothing syncs to a server you cannot see, because there is no account to sign into. BUILT FOR CLASS - Live recording with a real-time waveform - Import existing audio files - Handles hour-long lectures, not just voice memos - Markdown-style headings and bullet lists - Offline formatting fallback - Local library grouped by day - Rename, read, and copy any lecture - Full English and Brazilian Portuguese support - No account, no sign-up, no subscription Made for students who would rather listen in class than transcribe after it.
