Audio Transcription Editor is an on-device voice tool for recording cleanup, meeting reviews, interview editing, and creative audio workflows. Record in the app, import audio from Files, or save Voice Memos through the iOS share extension, then transcribe, separate speakers, edit by text, and export on your device. Key features: - Record and import: capture audio in the app or import common audio files from Files and the share extension. - Offline transcription: built-in high-accuracy model for local processing after installation, with no account required. - Speaker separation: organize different speakers for interviews, meetings, and podcast material. - Text-based audio editing: navigate audio through transcript text and focus on the parts that matter. - Non-destructive workflow: original recordings stay unchanged while edits are saved as project data. - Professional export: prepare transcripts, captions, and edited audio assets. Privacy: Audio Transcription Editor does not require an account, does not actively collect personal data, and does not use advertising tracking. Recordings, imported files, transcripts, and editing projects are stored on your device by default. Camera access is only used for cover images, microphone access is used for recording, and speech recognition access is used for system transcription. Pro features: In-app Pro unlocks longer transcription, text-based audio editing, and professional export capabilities. Purchases and subscriptions are handled by Apple.

AUDIO AND WRITTEN MORSE Decode microphone audio, imported WAV/MP3/M4A/AAC recordings or written Morse. Automatic Farnsworth detection shows character and effective speeds. Decoder Pro adds spectrograms, a live waterfall, carrier and speed locks, sensitivity and filtering. Save audio-decoding text in the local Session Library; source audio and graphs are not retained. IMAGE DECODER Read printed Morse from a photo, screenshot or clipboard image on iPhone and iPad. Crop and straighten, review dots, dashes and spacing, then confirm the text to copy, play or practice it. Processing stays on your device. Clear horizontal lines work best; unclear letter gaps need manual correction. APPLE WATCH AUDIO DECODER Decode Morse with the Watch microphone and read text and character/effective speeds on your wrist. Keep the app open; no nearby iPhone is needed. LIGHT DECODER Aim the rear camera at one flashing light. Move the target by touch or accessible controls, allow calibration, and follow or copy the decoded text. Use 5โ7 WPM, a steady phone and clear light. Lighting, motion and camera timing affect reception. For learning, not emergencies. Camera access starts on request; no images/video are saved or uploaded. ENCODE AND SEND Turn text into International Morse, play or copy it, and export WAV/M4A audio. Send visible Morse through Screen Flash or the rear Flashlight at up to 7 WPM, without a 60-second cutoff. Haptic output supports transmissions up to 60 seconds. Stop visible output if it causes discomfort. MORSE TREE Watch dots and dashes light up paths in Encoder and the live audio Decoder. Explore the tree with a demo or by tapping letters. In Practice โ Morse Code Basics, follow, predict, build and listen without hints. Progress is saved and mistakes join Practice Coach reviews. PRACTICE AT YOUR PACE Learn with beginner lessons, Koch groups, Farnsworth spacing, callsigns, prosigns, Q-codes, QSO exchanges, custom drills, WPM ladders, and sending practice. Today's Practice uses spaced reviews. Repeat recording segments or turn decoded text into clean listening exercises with Practice this. Koch progress is preserved. FREE AND PREMIUM One Premium plan covers iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac with the same Apple Account. Free includes text conversion, beginner and Koch learning, daily practice, selected-character drills, the Send key, Callsigns, and character correction/restore. Free audio playback supports 60 seconds per transmission. Microphone and light decoding allow 30 seconds per session after the first signal lock; later signal loss does not pause that allowance. Free imported files may be up to 30 seconds. Restart to begin another free session. Premium unlocks longer audio playback and decoding, light decoding without a session time limit, WAV/M4A export, Decoder Pro, the complete Session Library, advanced coaching and history, Guided Sending, signal conditions, saved custom presets, and WPM ladders. Choose a weekly auto-renewing subscription or one-time lifetime purchase. Both unlock the same features; see in-app prices. PRACTICAL LIMITS Use a clear 300โ2,000 Hz audio carrier. Imports support common uncompressed mono/stereo PCM WAV, MP3, and unprotected AAC in M4A or ADTS; protected audio and ALAC are unsupported. Premium imports support up to 60 minutes/1 GiB, and audio playback up to 60 minutes. Audio export remains limited to 8 minutes. Camera capture runs in the foreground and stops for interruptions, frame stalls, or excessive heat, including with Premium. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Core processing stays on your device. No account, ads, tracking, or analytics. Microphone samples stay in bounded memory and are discarded on Stop. Network access is used for App Store purchases and subscription management.
