Turn every conversation into text you can use. Record a meeting, lecture, interview or voice note, or import an audio file. ToText supports transcription in 60 languages, shows who said what, writes a clear AI summary and lists the action items. Then ask the recording anything and jump to the exact moment. NEW: THE TOTEXT KEYBOARD Speak instead of typing in Messages, Mail, Notes and other apps. Add the keyboard once with a short guide, then tap and talk. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Record in the app, import audio files, or share audio and video from other apps • Get an organized transcript with speaker labels. Choose the spoken language or let ToText detect it • Choose the length and style of each AI summary • Get action items, a title and tags automatically • Ask questions and get answers with time references.
