Transcribatron vs Scriba

Transcribatron turns your voice into clean, structured text - everywhere. One purchase, no subscription, no account - and transcription always runs on your device. DICTATE IN ANY APP A system-wide keyboard that records your voice and types polished text into Mail, Messages, Slack, Notes - anywhere you can type. Pick a style (formal email, bullets, casual) and it rewrites as it goes. Apple's dictation gives you raw text; this gives you finished text. CAPTURE MEETINGS IN THE ROOM Set your phone on the table and record the whole room - no bot, no calendar invite, no uploads. Get a full transcript plus an AI summary, action items, and decisions, using templates you control. Transcribatron tells speakers apart on-device - name them in the meeting and every line shows who said it. Built for boardrooms, 1:1s, interviews, and lectures. A MEETING BUDDY IN YOUR CORNER Turn on live coaching and a Buddy watches the conversation as it happens - surfacing heads-ups, opportunities, and the specific things you asked it to watch for, with a live chat that already knows what's been said. Live coaching runs on a cloud model, so it needs your own API key. LISTEN TO ANYTHING Turn any transcript, note, or imported document into audio. Natural on-device and cloud voices, karaoke-style word highlighting, lock-screen playback - or flip to RSVP speed reading and fly through it silently, one word at a time. YOUR CHOICE OF AI - OR FULLY ON-DEVICE Use the best model for the job - Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok with your own key - or keep the work on your device with the free on-device model, a one-time download (iPhone 15 Pro and later, and recent iPads). Your call, every time. Confidential conversation? Transcription always runs on-device - and on those devices the AI cleanup does too, so nothing has to leave your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, ever. Transcription always runs on your device - your recordings are never uploaded to us, because there is no server of ours to upload them to. Choose a cloud AI and only text is sent, using your own API key, straight to the provider you picked. Your keys stay in the Keychain.
