Spokn turns your voice into clean, readable notes — instantly, on your iPhone, and entirely on-device. Tap the orb and talk. Spokn captures every word, then quietly polishes it: filler words removed, sentences tidied, paragraphs and lists added — so what you get back actually reads like writing, not a raw transcript. WHY SPOKN • Private by design. Transcription and AI cleanup run entirely on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. No account, no servers, no analytics. It even works offline. • Beautifully clean. Apple's on-device intelligence turns rambling speech into structured notes — real paragraphs and real numbered lists, not a wall of text. • Hands-free, including CarPlay. Capture an idea the moment it strikes — at your desk or behind the wheel. Spokn is built for the road with a voice-first CarPlay experience. • Speak the formatting. Say "new paragraph," "start a numbered list," or "next item" and Spokn structures it for you. No tapping, eyes on the road. • Organized and searchable. Keep notes in notebooks, search across everything instantly, and export to plain text or subtitles (SRT/VTT). HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap the orb on the Record screen and start speaking. 2. Watch your words appear live as you talk. 3. Tap stop — Spokn cleans up the transcript and saves it to your notebook. PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST Spokn was built privacy-first. Your recordings and transcripts stay on your device. No sign-in. No cloud processing. No tracking. Just you and your words. Perfect for journaling, brainstorming, meeting notes, to-do lists, drafting messages, and capturing ideas the moment they arrive. Download Spokn and start dictating.
