ToText vs Cadence

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. Tap one to hear that moment • Follow playback with a synced transcript that highlights each word • Search, edit, copy, share and export to PDF • Keep your library in sync across devices with iCloud • See Insights, a weekly Calendar and your chosen Tasks in Home (iOS 26) YOUR RECORDINGS IN CHATGPT Where available, you can connect ToText in ChatGPT and ask about your recordings there.

Audio sent for transcription is deleted from our servers shortly after processing. The optional ChatGPT connection keeps a copy of your recording text on ToText's EU servers until you disconnect and delete it.
