Liusheng vs Transcripts

Liusheng turns your voice into structured, searchable notes — and grows them into a personal knowledge base you can ask questions about. Record meetings, lectures, interviews, or a passing idea. Liusheng transcribes on-device, then AI cleans it up into a titled, summarized, tagged note with to-dos extracted. CORE FEATURES - On-device transcription: a built-in speech recognition engine turns recordings into text right on your iPhone. No upload, no network required, privacy first. - AI cleanup: after transcription, AI fills in the title, summary, tags, and to-dos — it only fills the blanks, it never rewrites your original text. - Knowledge cards: key points are distilled into atomic cards from each recording or imported document, so scattered knowledge stays at a glance. - Personal knowledge base with Q&A: every note and card feeds a knowledge base you can query in plain language. AI answers from your own content. - Knowledge graph and whiteboards: link related notes and cards into a network and lay your thinking out visually. - Document import: bring in PDF, Word, TXT, and spreadsheets — all converted into notes you can organize. - Everywhere you are: one-tap recording on Apple Watch, a home-screen widget for quick capture, and live recording status in the Dynamic Island. WHO IT'S FOR - Students and researchers: lectures, talks, and papers become notes with summaries the moment you stop recording. - Professionals: meetings, calls, and brainstorms turn into minutes and action items automatically. - Journalists and creators: interview transcripts, quick idea capture, and a growing material library. ON PRIVACY Liusheng is local-first: recording and transcription happen on your device, and your voice and notes stay with you by default. AI cleanup is optional and off until you turn it on — you'll see exactly what is sent and to whom before you agree.

Transcripts records and transcribes on your iPhone or iPad, and works with Transcripts for Mac to turn those recordings into meeting notes. Continue on your Mac Get Transcripts for Mac from the Mac App Store. Point both apps at the same Transcripts folder in iCloud Drive. The Mac processes your finished mobile recordings, adds speaker names and summaries, and saves the results back to the shared folder for you to read on iPhone or iPad. The Mac app also captures your microphone and the other side of a call, shows a live transcript, and files the finished notes where you keep them. Recording and speech processing happen on your devices; iCloud Drive syncs the files you choose to share. Your iPhone and iPad remain complete recorders on their own. A Mac is optional. Read it while you record Words appear on screen as you speak, using on-device speech recognition. No waiting for a file to upload and come back as text. It keeps recording Lock the screen, switch apps, take a call — capture continues, and a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island shows it is still running. Your files, your folder Recordings are saved as ordinary .m4a audio with a plain-text transcript beside each one. Choose where they go: iCloud Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or just on your device. There is no proprietary library to escape from and nothing to export — the files are already yours. Genuinely private No servers, no accounts, no analytics, no advertising. Transcripts sends your audio nowhere: it requires on-device speech recognition and switches live text off rather than fall back to a server. Your recordings go only where you put them. Open source The app is open source under the MIT licence, so the privacy claims above are checkable rather than promised. Recording laws vary by location, and some places require the consent of everyone in a conversation. Please make sure you may lawfully record before you do.
