Whisper Notes - Speech to Text

Offline Transcription & Memos

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Whisper Notes is a powerful offline transcription app that runs entirely on your device. Record or import audio and video, transcribe with multiple models (Parakeet, Whisper, etc.), and export transcripts as SRT, VTT, or TXT for easy subtitling and notes. It auto-detects 100+ languages and adapts as you switch languages, all while keeping your data private on-device.

All data stays on your device with a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited transcripts and lifetime updates—no subscriptions, cloud uploads, or ads. Optimized for iPhone devices (best on iPhone 12+), Whisper Notes emphasizes privacy, speed, and control over your recordings.
