Sonory

Sonory records your conversations and gives you back what matters. One tap to start recording. When you're done, Sonory produces a faithful transcript, separates the speakers, then writes a structured summary: topics covered, decisions made, action items, next steps. RELIABLE RECORDING Audio is written to your phone while you record. You never lose a conversation to a network outage, an incoming call, or a locked screen. Upload happens afterwards, and resumes on its own. MULTILINGUAL TRANSCRIPTION French, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian. The language is detected automatically, or chosen by you. SUMMARIES IN THE RIGHT FORMAT Team meeting, interview, client check-in, consultation, training session: the note template adapts to what you recorded. PRIVACY FIRST Your recordings are stored in Switzerland. They are never sold, shared, or used to train models. No ads, no trackers. BEFORE YOU RECORD Recording a private conversation without the consent of those present is illegal in Switzerland (art. 179bis and 179ter of the Swiss Criminal Code) and in France (art. 226-1 of the French Criminal Code). Sonory reminds you of this and offers an audible start-of-recording signal. You remain responsible for obtaining the necessary consents. The free plan includes 45 minutes of transcription per month. The Pro and Unlimited subscriptions, with automatic renewal, include more. Terms of Use (Apple's standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Some voice notes arrive at the worst possible moment. You are on a train, in a meeting, next to a sleeping baby, or simply not up for four minutes of someone thinking out loud. Share the voice note into Resum and read it instead. TRANSCRIPTS ARE FREE, ALWAYS Every voice note you share becomes text you can read, search, and copy. No minute counter, no account, no limit. Long messages are welcome: a six-minute note takes seconds. Got a burst of them? Share them all at once and they become one conversation, in the order they were sent. A SUMMARY WHEN THE MESSAGE IS LONG Resum also writes a short summary, gathers what you have been asked to do, and lists the questions waiting for an answer. Each task and question carries the speaker's own words, so you can see exactly where it came from. Anything Resum cannot find in the recording is marked as unverified rather than presented as fact β€” you should not have to answer a question nobody asked. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR IPHONE The transcript and the summary are both computed on this device. Your audio is never uploaded. There is no server to leak it, because there is no server: that is how Resum is built, not a checkbox in its settings. AN ARCHIVE THAT STAYS USABLE Everything you share is kept and searchable by any word that was spoken β€” accents and case included, so "reunion" finds "reuniΓ³n". Notes are grouped by day and can be filtered down to favourites, to the ones carrying tasks, or to where they came from. Rename any note; star the ones that matter. REPLY IN POINTS Resum drafts a numbered reply to the questions in the voice note, in the language it was spoken β€” not the language of your phone. It never writes the answers for you. RESUM PRO Transcripts stay free. Pro removes the limit on summaries. Β· Free: five summaries a week, unlimited transcripts. Β· Pro: unlimited summaries. Monthly or yearly, cancel any time in Settings. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY Β· Transcription works on any iPhone running iOS 26, in more than 50 languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, Polish and Catalan. Β· Summaries use Apple Intelligence and therefore need an iPhone that supports it. They are available in Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese and Chinese. Russian is transcribed but not yet summarised β€” Apple's on-device model does not support it. Β· The first voice note in a new language downloads that language from Apple, which can take a few minutes. It happens once, and Resum shows the progress. Β· Resum has no recorder and no player: it turns voice notes other people sent you into text you can read. TERMS AND PRIVACY Resum Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, at the price shown in the app for your country. It renews until you cancel it in your Apple ID settings, and the App Store handles the payment.
