## Description

Record or import lectures, cut the silence, and get searchable transcripts with speaker labels. Everything runs on your iPhone — your recordings never leave it.

Long lectures? Hour-long meetings? 5cut turns recordings into shorter videos and searchable transcripts - on your iPhone or iPad.

FOR STUDENTS
Record class or import a lecture video. 5cut removes the silence, keeps the words, and gives you a transcript you can study from.

FOR MEETING & INTERVIEW NOTE-TAKERS
Drop in a meeting recording, voice memo, or interview. 5cut trims the dead air, transcribes the conversation, and separates speakers so you can find the important parts faster.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Record in 5cut or import from Photos and Files.
2. Watch the waveform - green is speech, red is silence.
3. Drag the slider or choose a Smart Mode preset.
4. Review the transcript, speaker labels, and subtitles.
5. Export the cleaned video.

SMART MODE
Three one-tap presets:
• Gentle - keeps more, cuts less
• Moderate - balanced (recommended)
• Aggressive - maximum time saved

TRANSCRIPTION OPTIONS
Generate searchable transcripts and captions in 30+ languages, depending on the selected engine. Every engine runs on the device — nothing is uploaded for processing. Burn subtitles into the video or export SRT/text transcripts.

SPEAKER IDENTIFICATION
Multiple people in the recording? 5cut identifies up to 4 speakers automatically. Color-coded in the transcript, renamable for your project.

EXPORT TO YOUR STUDY TOOLS
Send transcripts and notes directly to Apple Notes, Markdown, Anki flashcards, Notion, or Obsidian.

BATCH PROCESSING (Premium)
A whole semester of lectures or a week of meetings? Queue them all and process with the same settings.

YOUR RECORDINGS NEVER LEAVE YOUR DEVICE
Every transcript is generated on your iPhone or iPad. There is no 5cut server, no cloud processing, and no third-party transcription service. No account. No ads. No tracking. No analytics.

Speech recognition runs through Apple's on-device engine or a local model you download once — your audio is never sent anywhere. Record a lecture, transcribe it, and export your notes with the device in airplane mode.
