Hit record. The words write themselves. Meetings, lectures, interviews, calls with a source — press record, and when you're done you have a transcript you can read, search, and edit. No more dragging the scrubber back and forth hunting for that one line. 【Features】 · Recording to text: Transcribes as you record, with the full transcript ready the moment you stop. You can also import audio files already on your phone. · AI meeting notes: Turns a long recording into proper notes — what was discussed, what was decided, who owns what. Prefer something shorter? One tap gives you a summary or a bullet list instead. · Speaker separation: Multi-person meetings are split by speaker automatically, so you can see who said what. Rename speakers to their real names anytime. · Tap-to-play timestamps: Tap any line to jump to that moment in the audio. Check the exact wording instead of guessing. · Full-text search: Every transcript is searchable. One keyword brings back that meeting from three months ago. · Export and share: Export as plain text, Word, or SRT subtitles — or just copy and paste straight into whatever notes app you use. · Multi-language: Transcribes Chinese, English, Japanese and more. Handles mixed Chinese-English speech without tripping up. 【Made for】 · Meetings you can't take notes in, but still have to write up afterwards · Lectures that move too fast to follow, and need a second pass later · Interviews and user research that need a word-for-word transcript · Recorded interviews that have to become a written piece · Ideas you'd rather say out loud now and tidy up later —— Subscription details Pro unlocks unlimited recording and transcription, AI meeting notes, speaker separation, and all export formats. · Payment: Charged to your Apple Account once the purchase is confirmed. · Auto-renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically.
