Memora Pro

Read full description

Memora Pro is your pocket audio-AI studio: record, transcribe, translate, read aloud, and summarize university lectures, meetings, interviews, and any important conversation. Everything happens right on your iPhone โ€” no servers, no account, no subscription for the essentials. VOICE RECORDING Record audio of any length with quality tuned for spoken voice. The app keeps recording in background, so you can check notes or silence the phone without interrupting the session. INSTANT TRANSCRIPTION Automatically converts voice into text with tap-to-jump timestamps: tap a sentence and the audio jumps to that point. Supports dozens of languages thanks to Apple's on-device speech recognition. Clean transcripts, sortable by date, category, or collection. MULTILINGUAL TRANSLATION Translate your transcripts into 19+ languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Hindi and more. Translation happens fully offline via Apple's Translation framework. VOICE INTERPRETER Memora Pro doesn't just translate: it reads the translation aloud in the target language, turning your iPhone into an instant interpreter. Adjust reading speed from 0.5ร— to 2ร— and listen on the go. OCR FROM PDFs AND PHOTOS Import any PDF or photo of a book page, handwritten note, or whiteboard: Memora Pro extracts the text via on-device OCR and adds it to your library as if it were a regular transcript. You can then translate it, summarize it, or have it read aloud โ€” exactly like a voice recording. AI SUMMARIES* With Apple Intelligence (iOS 18.1+ on iPhone 15 Pro or newer) you get structured summaries: main topic, key points, decisions and actions, open questions. All generated on-device by Apple's language model โ€” no uploads, no external AI, no recurring fees. On unsupported devices the app uses a fast keyword-based summary. COLLECTIONS AND ARCHIVING Organize your transcripts and recordings into custom collections: by subject, project, client, month. Each collection has its own icon, color, and description. Voice recordings and imported texts stay archived so you can listen, re-read, or re-translate them whenever you want. POWERFUL SEARCH Search through thousands of transcript lines in Text mode (with instant highlighting) or Semantic mode (by meaning, not exact wording). "Math problems" finds "limits"; "compilation errors" finds "compiler warnings". FLEXIBLE EXPORT Export any session to Markdown or formatted PDF โ€” ready to share via Messages, Mail, AirDrop, Drive, or paste into Notes, Obsidian, Pages, Word. ABSOLUTE PRIVACY Everything on-device. Audio, transcripts, translations, and AI summaries never leave your iPhone. No servers, no account to create, no third party reading your material. No uploads, no cloud (unless you opt into iCloud sync). PERFECT FOR โ€ข University students โ€” lectures, exams, review โ€ข Professionals โ€” meetings, briefs, calls โ€ข Journalists โ€” interviews, press conferences โ€ข Researchers โ€” focus groups, fieldwork โ€ข Medical and legal practices โ€” secure notes โ€ข Language learners โ€” listening and translation INTERFACE IN 7 LANGUAGES Italian, English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese (BR), Japanese.

About

Voice Notes

Features
Read full description

Voice Notes turns anything you record into an accurate, searchable transcript โ€” and it does the whole job on your iPhone. Tap record to capture a meeting, lecture, interview or a quick idea; when you stop, the app transcribes the audio on-device using Apple's speech recognition, so your voice never leaves the phone and never touches a server. Every recording becomes a timestamped transcript you can actually use. Tap any line to jump straight to that moment in the audio and hear it. Search across your entire archive to find that one thing someone said. One tap pulls out the key points โ€” names, dates and the most important sentences. Export any transcript as a text file to share or drop into your notes. A weekly chart shows how much you've recorded, and an optional daily reminder helps you build the habit. Unlimited recordings, unlimited transcription, complete privacy โ€” a subscription unlocks the full app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
