TouchMix vs Lectern

TouchMix-8/16 Control is an app for iPad, iPad mini, iPhone and iPod touch that provides wireless control of QSC TouchMix-8 and TouchMix-16 digital sound reinforcement mixers. Visit http://www.qsc.com for more information. The app is not intended to perform any audio mixing or processing tasks on its own. When run on the iPad and iPad mini, the TouchMix Control app closely follows the operational paradigm of the mixers. The iPad and the mixer GUI operate independently so it is possible for the iPad to act as an additional user interface that can display and control a set of functions completely different from those being controlled by the mixer’s screen and hardware. An alternate operation mode – Follow Mixer – is also available. With Follow Mixer engaged, the iPad follows the fader selection on the mixer. Touch a fader on the mixer and the iPad will display that channel’s Overview, EQ, Compressor, Sends or Gate screen. Touch a parameter on the iPad and the mixer’s rotary control will adjust it – or just drag on the iPad screen. When used without an actual TouchMix, the app acts as a demonstration of the mixer GUI and functionality but does not control audio in any way. On the iPhone, the TouchMix Control app functions as a personal stage monitor mix control with the option to also remotely operate the mixer’s record and playback features as well as programmable user buttons. To prevent inadvertent adjustment of controls, the mixer operator may allow or restrict access to selected functions on a per-device basis.

Every word, kept. Lectern records your meetings, lectures, interviews and voice memos, transcribes them on your device, and turns them into clean notes you can actually use — with a full-text archive of everything you have ever recorded. ON-DEVICE WHISPER TRANSCRIPTION Lectern runs Whisper directly on your device's Neural Engine for accurate transcription of natural, real-world speech — no server, no upload, no per-minute fees. Prefer zero setup? Apple's on-device speech recognition works instantly with no download at all. Switch engines any time. RECORD WITH CONFIDENCE A live transcript scrolls as you speak, with a level meter and word count so you always know capture is working. AirPods disconnecting mid-meeting, phone calls, Siri interruptions — Lectern re-taps the new microphone and keeps writing the same file. Even a force-quit or crash is survivable: the recording is detected on next launch and recovered, transcribed and archived. FROM RAW SPEECH TO REAL NOTES The notes pipeline runs entirely offline and is fully deterministic: filler words and stutters are cleaned up, punctuation is repaired, paragraphs are restored, and every session gets a TL;DR, summary bullets and keyword tags. Action items are extracted with owners and due dates, in English and German. AN ARCHIVE YOU CAN SEARCH Every session lands in a full-text searchable archive — transcripts, titles, notes and action items. Search for a phrase, jump straight to the matching segment, and play the audio from that exact moment. IMPORT AND EXPORT EVERYTHING Transcribe existing audio and video files. Export to Markdown, PDF, plain text, SRT, VTT or HTML. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Audio and transcripts never leave your device. The only network use is the one-time, optional Whisper model download. No account, no analytics, no tracking. FREE TO TRY, PRO WHEN YOU NEED IT The free tier includes three recordings of up to ten minutes each with the complete pipeline. Eligible new subscribers can try Lectern Pro free for 7 days. Pro unlocks unlimited recordings and archive with monthly or yearly billing across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in App Store subscription settings.
