VocaClip
Read full descriptionHide full description
VocaClip turns speech from videos on your iPhone—or a public video URL you provide—into selectable text. Choose a video from Photos or Files, share a video or URL from another app, select the spoken language, and start. Follow the text as it appears, then select, copy, or share exactly the passage you need. KEY FEATURES • Transcribe speech from videos • Import public videos from YouTube, Instagram, X, TikTok, Vimeo, Facebook, Reddit, Dailymotion, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Loom (age-restricted videos are blocked) • Support for Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese • Copy a selection or the full transcript • Optional on-device transcript history • No account and no ads Transcription is processed on your iPhone. VocaClip does not upload your video, extracted audio, or transcript to a VocaClip or TIIDA TECH LTD transcription server. For URL imports, your device connects directly to the video provider and removes temporary media after processing. Import only media you own or are authorized to use. Speech recognition may contain errors, so check the original audio for important work.
