About Speech to Text - Sono
Never take notes again. Sono is an on-device AI transcription and summarization app. Whether you need to transcribe meetings, lectures, videos, and more, Sono takes notes for you so you can save time and focus on the discussion. Upload voice notes, audio files, or videos, and Sono will automatically convert speech to text. Sono also supports smart AI summaries and AI chat so you can ask questions, request rewrites, and generate action items. KEY FEATURES: • Unlimited transcription for audio and video in 99 languages • Transcribe voice notes, real-time audio, and video/audio files • AI summaries and chat • Organize recordings in collections • Search transcripts • Copy and share transcripts (TXT, PDF, MD, DOCX, SRT) • Export recordings • Widgets and shortcuts PRIVACY: • We do not collect any user data. Both transcription and AI features run 100% locally, so your data never has to leave your device FAQ: What is the longest transcription supported? We support regular transcription of voice notes, audio files, and video files up to 8 hours long. We support live transcription up to 2 hours long. You can transcribe as many recordings as you would like. Is the app actually fully local? Yes! The app uses local transcription and LLM models, so all transcription and AI features work on-device. A network connection is only required once to download each transcription or AI model. Your data never leaves your device unless you choose to share it. We provide optional iCloud sync to back up your data and sync data between devices. If you have this disabled, your transcriptions will be deleted if you delete the application. We recommend backing up important transcriptions. Why do I have to keep the app open while it is transcribing? The app has to be open during transcription as iOS limits apps from operating in the background for extended amounts of time. If you are unable to run the app at the moment, you can quit and reopen the app at any time. The interrupted recording will automatically start transcribing again.
