Say it once. VoxWhisper turns it into a transcript, a summary and the things you need to do. Record a thought, a meeting or a note to yourself on iPhone or Apple Watch. On your iPhone each recording opens to a title, a short summary, key points and your action items, ready to add to Reminders with the date you mentioned. FROM A RECORDING TO A PLAN โ€ข Record on iPhone, up to 60 minutes. Your first three recordings are free, with everything included. โ€ข Transcripts are made on your iPhone with on-device speech recognition (iOS 26 or later, supported languages; a model download may be needed). โ€ข Summaries and key points are written on your iPhone by Apple Intelligence where it is available. On other iPhones the app shows the speaker's key sentences instead. โ€ข Action items: what you said you would do, with the date and time you mentioned. Tap Add to Reminders. Undo removes it again. โ€ข Tap a part of the transcript to hear that moment. Correct a word; the original is kept. โ€ข Share a memo as one text: title, summary, tasks and transcript. CAPTURE FROM YOUR WRIST โ€ข Dictate a note from the Capture complication, Siri or a Shortcut. โ€ข With Pro, record voice memos on Apple Watch; they are copied to your iPhone. โ€ข On iPhone, set the Action button to Record a voice memo. FIND IT AGAIN โ€ข One list for notes and memos, with search across notes and transcripts. โ€ข Notes dictated on the watch get suggested action items on iPhone too. โ€ข Text notes sync through your own iCloud. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. Audio, transcripts and summaries stay on your devices; nothing is sent to us. A reminder is written only when you tap. VOXWHISPER PRO Unlimited recordings and transcripts, summaries and action items for every memo, voice memos on Apple Watch, and your full note history. Dictated text notes, iCloud sync and your 25 most recent notes stay free. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.

Get it off your mind. A thought, a reminder, a frustration or something you are still working through. Say it to Seed and carry on with your day. You do not need to organize your thoughts before you speak. SAY WHATEVER IS ON YOUR MIND Press once and talk on iPhone or Apple Watch. A few words between tasks or a longer thought on a walk: there is no outline to fill in. Watch recordings go to your iPhone for transcription. You can also start with Siri, Shortcuts or a supported Action button. COME BACK WHEN YOU HAVE ROOM Timeline brings your spoken notes together by day and time. Read back, search for a phrase or highlight a passage worth returning to. Turn selected paragraphs into bullets or checklists yourself. Some thoughts may become a paragraph, a decision or an action. Others have served their purpose just by being spoken. You decide what to make of them. With Apple Intelligence available and enabled on compatible hardware, Seed makes a cleaner reading version and short titles for new recordings. Your original words and audio remain available with each note. Listen at your preferred speed while the words follow along. Optional wording suggestions help you review a possible recognition mistake in context. Tap an underlined word to compare the original and proposed spelling. Applying a correction updates only the reading version and saves the spelling pair to Vocabulary. Undo reverses the correction and its vocabulary learning. ROOM TO SPEAK FREELY Audio transcription runs on your iPhone. No account, no subscription and no data collected by us. On new installs, reading-version processing prefers Apple Private Cloud Compute on eligible iOS 27 devices, with on-device fallback. This includes cleanup, titles and contextual wording review. Existing choices are preserved, and you can choose on-device processing in Settings. Apple's usage limits apply. An optional webhook sends original transcripts to your own tools. KEEP WHAT YOU WANT TO RETURN TO New installs move notes older than seven days to Recently Deleted. Choose 1, 7 or 30 days, or Never, in Settings, Recordings, Auto-delete. Existing choices are preserved. Deleted recordings can be recovered for 30 days. Choose Never if you want to keep notes until you delete them. WHEN YOU WANT MORE CONTROL Use Apple Speech with a chosen language, or download Everyday for automatic detection across 25 languages. Compact offers a smaller download and transcribes while Seed is open. Downloads retain progress when paused; unused optional models can be removed. Vocabulary spelling pairs and optional filler-word removal apply to reading versions. High voice sensitivity can separate quieter background speech in the reading version without changing your original. Available in English, Spanish and German.
