Record or import audio and get a timestamped transcript in seconds, with nothing ever leaving your device. Voice notes, lectures, interviews, meetings, podcasts: ScribeKit turns them into text you can search, edit, and share, and it works in airplane mode from the moment you install it. No account, no uploads, no internet needed. RECORD OR IMPORT • Record straight into the app, up to 30 minutes per recording (3 hours with Pro). • Import audio from Files or iCloud Drive, or send audio from any app that has a Share button, including Voice Memos. • While you record, a Live Activity keeps the timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with pause and stop controls. Leave the app or lock your phone without losing anything. READ, PLAY, SEARCH • Every transcript is split into timestamped lines. Tap any line and the audio jumps to that moment. • Edit the text, rename a recording, copy or share the transcript, or transcribe it again in another language. • Search runs across every transcript you have. TWO ENGINES, BOTH OFFLINE • Parakeet, a fast open-source speech model from NVIDIA, is built in and ready the first time you open the app. It covers 25 languages and detects the language for you. No download, no setup, no sign-in. • ScribeKit Pro adds five downloadable Whisper models (open-source speech recognition, run on your device with WhisperKit) covering more than 100 languages. You choose which one to download and which one to run. STAY ORGANIZED • Smart filters gather your favorites, your recent recordings, and anything still waiting to be transcribed. • Custom folders (Pro) keep projects, classes, or clients apart. • A recycle bin holds deleted items for 30 days, and auto-delete can clear old transcriptions for you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • ScribeKit has no transcription server. Your audio and transcripts stay on your device and are never sent anywhere. • No account, no sign-in. The app asks for the microphone and nothing else. SCRIBEKIT PRO ScribeKit is free to use, with 10 transcriptions a month. Pro adds: • Unlimited transcriptions, with no monthly limit • Recordings and imports of up to 3 hours instead of 30 minutes • Five downloadable Whisper models covering 100+ languages • Custom folders • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Export of all your transcripts and audio Pro is available as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time Lifetime purchase.
