KeepScribe: Offline Transcribe

Record and transcribe on your iPhone, even in airplane mode. Transcription is free with no time limit; a one-time purchase unlocks speakers, Word export and AI notes.

Record and transcribe, right on your iPhone.

KeepScribe turns recordings into transcripts with speaker labels, entirely on device. Nothing is uploaded and no internet is needed — it works in airplane mode. No account, no server, no data collected.

Transcribe in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and more: every language the speech recognition built into iOS supports. Choose the language for each recording.

RECORD • Start from the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Action button or Control Center • Drop markers with notes while you record • Audio is written as you go, so it survives the app being closed • Pauses for phone calls and resumes when they end • Stop timer: end and save the recording automatically after 15 to 120 minutes

TRANSCRIBE • Uses the speech recognition built into iOS, in the language you choose • Punctuation, paragraphs and speaker labels; rename a speaker once and the whole transcript follows • Free with no time limit, and keeps going with the phone locked • Import audio or video from Files or Photos; imports keep their original recording time • Shortcuts actions: transcribe an audio file, get the latest transcript • Optional filler-word removal (um, uh) for cleaner reading

ORGANIZE • Tap a sentence to play from there; skip silence; change speed • Highlight, edit, find and replace — all undoable • Search every recording: titles, transcripts, markers and summaries • On-device AI answers questions and writes summaries and mind maps, every point linked to the moment it was said • Translate a transcript with Apple’s on-device translation, side by side with the original

EXPORT AND BACK UP • Copy text, export TXT and the original audio (free) • Export Word, PDF, Markdown, SRT and VTT subtitles, and CSV • Export everything and restore it on a new phone • Face ID lock hides titles on the Lock Screen, widgets and notifications • Auto export: save each new transcript (and its audio, if you like) to a folder you choose, such as iCloud Drive

PRICE Recording and transcription are always free with no time limit. A one-time purchase unlocks speaker labels, Word / PDF / Markdown / subtitle / spreadsheet export, Q&A, summaries, mind maps, translation and professional notes. No subscription.

Notes: • Before the first transcription in a language, iOS downloads that language’s speech model from Apple once. • AI features run on device and need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence, or an 8 GB iPhone that can download the on-device model. • Transcripts and AI notes can contain mistakes; check important points against the audio.
