BroSpeech turns your voice into text right on your iPhone. You talk, it writes it down. Nothing is uploaded, because nothing needs to be. The speech model lives inside the app and runs on your phone, so transcription works fully offline from the first launch. There is no download, no account, no sign-in, and no internet required. Privacy is the point: - Your voice and your text never leave the phone. - No servers, no account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. - History stays in private on-device storage and is kept out of iCloud backup. - Clipboard copies stay local to the device. What you can do: - Tap to record and watch your words become text. - Choose the exact transcript, or use the polished view when you want cleaner writing. - Save, edit, search, copy, and share private transcripts. - Add personal vocabulary so names, phrases, and terms come out the way you want. - Use the BroSpeech widget or the "Start / Stop Voice Transcription" Shortcut for faster capture. - Keep dictating while the screen is locked during long recordings. - Let old transcripts delete themselves after 90 days, or turn that off and keep them. - Clear everything at once with Delete All. How it works: Open BroSpeech, tap record, and speak. The on-device model writes your words as you go. When you are done, copy the text, share it, edit it, or leave it in your private history to find later. BroSpeech is free, with no in-app purchases. English transcription. Made by BroFi LLC. Transcribes your words, fully offline.
