The AI note taker that's already on your wrist. VoiceBridge turns your Apple Watch and iPhone into a voice recorder that takes the notes for you. Tap your wrist to record. Back on your iPhone, it transcribes on device, tells speakers apart, and writes up meeting minutes, to-dos and notes you can search and ask. Your audio never leaves your iPhone. VOICE RECORDER — ON YOUR WRIST • Tap to start on Apple Watch. Tap the screen to mark a moment. Hold to stop. • Start from your watch face, or set a schedule and get a reminder when it's time. • Record on iPhone too, or import audio and video (video is read on device for its audio only). • Long silent stretches are skipped, so your timeline stays clean. MEETING RECORDER & TRANSCRIBER • On-device transcription with speakers separated and punctuation restored. • One tap for meeting minutes: templates for meetings, interviews, 1:1s and lectures, plus a shareable summary. • Export to PDF, Markdown and subtitle files. AI NOTE TAKER — DECISIONS AND TO-DOS, DONE • Decisions and to-dos are pulled out of every conversation, each linked back to the original audio. • Set reminders on to-dos. Every morning, a one-page Daily Review shows what was decided and what's left to do. A SECOND BRAIN THAT KEEPS UP • Notes are sorted into topics automatically and connected across days. Save key points as cards, every line cited. • Ask: question your notes in plain words — "What did Chen and I decide about rebates?" — and jump to the moment it was said. LECTURES, INTERVIEWS, PODCASTS Record a lecture and get a clean transcript and study notes. Interview someone and get who-said-what. Listen to a podcast and keep the ideas. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Recording, transcription and speaker separation run on your devices. Your audio never leaves your iPhone, and watch recordings only go to your own iPhone. Online AI features send text only; names and amounts are masked first and sent only after you confirm. Nothing is stored or used for training. No account, no API keys to set up. Export everything any time. YOURS TO KEEP Recording, on-device transcription, speaker separation, glossary, search, export and Apple Watch recording are yours to keep. Meeting minutes, Daily Review, Ask and auto-organizing use an online language model and spend credits by length. Credits are sold in the app. Works with iPhone Duo: two panes when open, and records half-folded on a desk.

Offline Note

In an era where everything is in the cloud, we are completely returning your privacy to you. "Offline Voice to Text" is an AI voice memo app that runs entirely locally on your iPhone. Whether you are recording highly confidential business negotiations, in-depth journalist interviews, or private inspiration diaries, all your audio and text will never leave your phone. ■ Core Features • Powered by Whisper AI: Integrates the advanced Whisper large speech model, putting a smart stenographer right inside your phone. Accurate recognition, smart sentence segmentation, and automatic punctuation. • Supports 100+ Languages: Natively supports accurate recognition and transcription of over 100 major and minor languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, and German, easily handling multinational meetings and foreign language learning. • Intuitive Calendar View Management: Say goodbye to cluttered file lists. All recordings are automatically archived by date. Through an elegant calendar interface, you can easily trace back every important meeting and flash of inspiration from any month or year, just like flipping through a diary. • True Offline Capability: No internet connection is required. Even in the extreme state of removing your SIM card and turning on Airplane Mode, it still provides you with 100% complete transcription services. • Exclusive NAS Private Cloud Backup: We understand the pain points of geeks and business professionals. The App natively supports the local network SMB protocol, allowing you to back up massive audio and text files directly to your NAS (like Synology, QNAP, etc.) with one click. Reject cloud drive kidnappings and achieve a perfect data closed-loop. • Versatile Export Formats: Record anytime, anywhere, and supports running in the background. After transcription, you can not only export as plain text (TXT) for meeting minutes but also natively export as standard subtitle files (SRT, VTT). This perfectly preserves timeline information and seamlessly integrates with various video editing software, greatly enhancing creators' efficiency. ■ Flexible Pricing Options Why do most transcription apps on the market charge exorbitant "cloud service fees"? Because they have to pay for cloud server costs. However, we solely utilize your phone's own chip processing power for transcription. We offer flexible unlocking options: you can choose a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase for unlimited usage. No hidden costs; the processing power is yours, and so is your data. ■ Frequently Asked Questions Q: Does the transcription process secretly upload my data? A: Absolutely not. We have not deployed any servers to receive your recordings; the app runs entirely within a local sandbox. As developers, we know absolutely nothing about the content of your recordings. Q: Why don't you support AI automatic summarization? A: At this stage, high-quality AI summarization must rely on cloud-based large model APIs (which means your text must be uploaded to a third party). To uphold our absolute bottom line of "Absolute Privacy," we would rather forgo this gimmick. You can export your safe, plain text and decide how to process it yourself. Q: Is there a recording time limit? A: No limits at all! As long as your phone has enough storage space, you can record hours of meetings continuously. After recording, just let your phone process for a while, and the complete transcript will be automatically generated. Q: Are there device requirements? A: Because AI processing demands high hardware performance, we recommend using an iPhone 12 (A14 chip) or newer for the smoothest transcription experience. ■ Privacy & Legal Privacy Policy: https://speech.chaoxitime.workers.dev Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ ■ Contact Us If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at: speech@chaoxishiguang.com
