Sijil: Offline Transcription

Record, transcribe and summarize meetings, lectures and interviews entirely on your phone. Speaker labels, subtitles, no account, no internet, one-time Pro.

Sijil is a voice recorder with offline transcription, for meeting notes, lectures, interviews and voice memos. It does speech to text on your device, so your audio and transcripts are never uploaded: the app has no internet permission, and there is nothing to sign in to.

RECORD WITHOUT WORRYING
• Lock your phone and it keeps going. Recording and transcription continue with the screen off.
• See your words appear as you speak, on supported devices.
• Bookmark important moments while you record.
• Use the built-in mic, or a Bluetooth, headset or USB mic.
• Recordings are saved as you go.

BRING IN WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
• Import files to transcribe audio to text or video to text.
• Share voice messages from your messaging apps straight into Sijil.
• Create SRT subtitles from a video, or export them as VTT.

TRANSCRIPTS YOU CAN TRUST AND FIX
• Transcribe speech in about 100 languages, detected automatically or chosen by you.
• Detect speakers (beta), give them names, and see who said what.
• Fix a word once and teach your dictionary, so future transcripts get it right.
• Edit the text, or re-transcribe a selection in another language.
• Listen back at your own speed, with skip silence and 10-second jumps.

SUMMARIES ON YOUR PHONE
• Get a summary, key points and action items for a note, made on your device.
• Available on supported devices, with a one-time model download on some of them.

FIND ANYTHING
• Search every note and transcript at once.
• Find and replace in one note or across all of them.
• Organize with folders, a calendar view, sorting and filters.

TAKE IT WITH YOU
• Export transcripts as TXT, SRT or VTT, with or without timestamps and speaker names.
• Export audio as M4A or WAV, or keep the original file.
• Export many notes at once as a ZIP.
• Back up everything to a single file you keep wherever you like, and restore it on a new phone.

ALWAYS WITHIN REACH
• Start recording from the home screen widget, a Quick Settings tile or an app shortcut.
• Works on phones, tablets and foldables.
• Light and dark themes, or colors from your wallpaper.

ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION
Every feature is included from the start. For your first 14 days, everything is transcribed in full. After that, the first 10 minutes of every note are always transcribed, and 3 hours a week cover the rest of longer notes. Recording and importing are never limited: anything over waits until your time refills.

Pro removes the transcription limit with a single purchase. It comes back on its own when you reinstall or move to a new phone with the same Google account.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Sijil needs Android 12 or newer.
• Google Play delivers the speech model once, about 1 GB. After that, transcription works with no connection.
• Live transcripts need a supported Snapdragon chip. On other devices, notes are transcribed in the background after you record.
• Some phones pause apps when the screen is off. If yours does, Sijil shows you how to allow background activity. Recording isn't affected.
