AiRC Transcriber

AiRC Transcriber turns recordings into private, searchable transcripts across iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple Silicon Mac. RECORD ANYWHERE Record on iPhone, Apple Watch, or Mac with pause and resume. Import audio, Voice Memos, and videos from Photos or Files. Long recordings use resumable processing so an interruption does not have to mean starting over. PRIVATE ON-DEVICE TRANSCRIPTION Transcription runs locally on the Apple device doing the work. Choose a memory-conscious iPhone workflow or route demanding recordings to your Apple Silicon Mac for higher-accuracy processing. No cloud AI provider receives your transcript text. CLEAN, USEFUL TRANSCRIPTS Read natural paragraphs instead of raw model chunks. Search, edit notes, play from a transcript moment, and export TXT, PDF, SRT captions, MP3 audio, or captioned video copies. Automatic speaker processing can separate voices and suggest names from explicit transcript evidence, while keeping you in control of corrections. SECURE LOCAL AI On supported devices, Apple Intelligence helps summarize and answer questions about the selected recording. Answers stay grounded in the transcript, include source moments, and support persistent multi-turn conversation. VIDEO AND CAPTIONS Import a video, keep it playable beside its transcript, customize caption size and placement, and optionally create a separate captioned copy while preserving the original. YOUR APPLE DEVICES, YOUR ICLOUD Private iCloud sync can keep recordings, transcripts, notes, and processing jobs available across your devices. Apple Watch recordings transfer through the paired iPhone, and you decide when a job should be handled by the Mac. Features may require model preparation, Apple Intelligence availability, free device storage, and iCloud. AiRC Transcriber supports Apple Silicon Macs only.
