OffgridScribe: Voice to Text

OffgridScribe turns your voice into accurate, ready-to-share notes – entirely on your device. No cloud. No uploads. No exceptions.

Built for journalists, researchers, lawyers, clinicians and anyone who conducts interviews and needs a fast, reliable way to turn speech into text, without the confidentiality risk of cloud transcription. Sources speak more freely when they know the recording stays private.

HOW IT WORKS
• Record in the app, or import existing audio and video
• On-device transcription in 12 languages, including Cantonese – nothing ever leaves your phone
• Speakers are labeled automatically, or tag them live while you record, so transcripts come out attributed rather than as one wall of text
• Get a full transcript in minutes, even for long recordings
• Keep recording with the screen locked; calls pause the recording and it resumes afterwards
• Start a recording from the Lock Screen, Control Center, Siri or the Action Button

BUILT FOR YOUR WORKFLOW
• Summary templates turn a long interview into a quick brief: general summaries, SOAP notes, client interviews and therapy session notes, or write your own
• Ask questions about a note and pull out action items
• Translate summaries and transcripts without uploading anything
• Tap any line to jump straight to that moment in the recording and check a quote in seconds
• Edit transcripts and rename speakers in the app
• Export to PDF, Word (RTF) or plain text, with optional redaction of names, phone numbers and other personal details
• Add your own glossary of names, places and specialist terms
• Tag notes by client or case, and search every past interview instantly

ONE-TIME PURCHASE
No subscription. Try Premium features for free, then unlock Premium once and keep it for good.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
OffgridScribe never uploads your recordings or transcripts anywhere – not to us, not to anyone. Every step happens locally on your device. Lock the app with Face ID, and back up your notes to a password-encrypted file that you control. Your sources' confidentiality stays exactly where it belongs: with you.

REQUIREMENTS
AI summaries, questions and action items use Apple Intelligence and need a compatible device (iPhone 15 Pro or later) with Apple Intelligence turned on. Transcription works on all supported devices.

OffgridScribe is a productivity tool to help you capture and organize spoken notes. It does not verify the accuracy of anything it transcribes and is not a substitute for your own professional or editorial judgment.
