KeepScribe: Offline Transcribe

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

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

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

EXPORT AND BACK UP
• Copy text, export TXT and the original audio (free)
• Export Word, PDF, SRT subtitles and CSV
• Export everything and restore it on a new phone
• Face ID lock hides titles on the Lock Screen, widgets and notifications

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