Earshot Live Transcription vs Transkriptuesi

Earshot is real-time, on-device captioning for iPhone - for conversations, lectures, doctor visits, anywhere you want to read what's being said. It's a free app that captions speech and ambient sound in real time, inspired by a Deaf researcher who'd spent his career on captioning. Having a disability shouldn't cost you money or your privacy. So I built Earshot. • Free — no sign-up, no sign-in, no ads, no upsells. • Private — everything runs on your device. The only network call is to download or update the local speech model so conversations never go to the cloud. • Offline — works with no Wi-Fi or cellular connection. • Multilingual — 99 languages, and it can translate any of them into English. • Ambient-sound aware — recognizes hundreds of environmental sounds, with full-screen alerts for urgent ones: smoke alarm, carbon monoxide, doorbell, crying baby, phone ringing, sirens. Accessibility tools shouldn't themselves be inaccessible. Free should mean free. Private should mean private. WHAT IT DOES • Real-time captions in a clean, focused screen, plus a chat-style "feed" layout. Tap the cog for text size, vibration, and ambient-sound options. • Translate non-English speech to English on the fly. • Full-screen urgent-sound alerts with strong haptics; ambient-sound tags shown in the corner when you want them. • Save transcripts on your device as readable documents. Star the ones to keep, filter by 1:1 or group, by alerts, by starred. • Share any transcript as plain text — it never leaves your device unless you send it. WHO IT'S FOR Built for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community as a private alternative to cloud captioning. Also useful in loud environments, for language learners, and for anyone who wants to read or save what was said. PRIVACY Audio never leaves your device. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. The AI model downloads once on first launch (~244 MB) — the only network request the app makes.

Record a conversation and get the text, with each speaker labelled. Transcription runs on your iPhone, with or without internet. Albanian first, 26 languages in all. Meetings, interviews, lectures, voice notes. Press record, put the phone on the table and keep talking. The words appear as people speak, and when you stop you have the transcript: who spoke, what they said and at which minute. Tap a word to hear that moment. Fix a word with a double tap. Rename speakers, merge several recordings into one, and find any recording from Spotlight. Bring in audio or video from Files, Photos or WhatsApp and get its text. Export as plain text, timestamped text, SRT subtitles or PDF, and keep an encrypted backup you can restore on a new phone. Make Albanian captioned videos for Reels and TikTok from any imported video, in styles that read on any background. Share WhatsApp voice notes to Transkriptuesi and read them as text. Transkriptuesi Pro adds an AI assistant: • While you record, it reads the transcript along with you. It suggests the next question, notices when a deadline is left vague and flags claims worth checking. Pick a role: meeting, interview, sales, lecture, translator, or write your own. • After the recording, it writes the summary: key points, decisions and tasks, with who owns each one. • It translates the whole transcript into 25 languages, line by line. • Ask the recording anything, typed or spoken. Answers come with the minute it was said. • It prepares a PDF report with the full transcript at the end. • Six caption styles for video: highlight, song, key word, rhythm, podcast and story. The AI only receives the text you choose to send, never the audio. Albanian recordings are shared anonymously to improve Albanian recognition. You can turn this off in Profile at any time. Every account starts with 2 hours of free transcription. Pro removes the limit and adds the AI assistant. It is billed monthly or yearly and can be cancelled any time in your Apple ID settings. Recognises 26 languages on its own: Albanian, English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian, Greek, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Slovak, Slovenian and Swedish. The app itself is in Albanian, English and Italian. Made by Klerku. Albanian rarely gets a seat in big technology, and this app exists to change that.
