Vocal Notes - Speech to Text

Vocal Notes turns your voice into searchable, editable text — entirely on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no subscriptions. Powered by OpenAI's Whisper Large v3 Turbo, Vocal Notes delivers fast, accurate transcription across 30+ languages without sending a single byte of your audio off your phone. RECORD & TRANSCRIBE Tap to record and get an instant transcription when you stop. Watch your words appear in real-time with a live progress indicator. Import audio files you've already recorded elsewhere — M4A, WAV, MP3, and more. READ & NAVIGATE View your transcript as continuous text or as timed blocks. Tap any sentence to jump to that moment in the audio. The active segment highlights as you listen, so you always know where you are. SEARCH & ORGANIZE Full-text search across all your recordings and transcripts. Star your favorites for quick access. Rename recordings to keep things tidy. EDIT & EXPORT Fix any transcription errors inline — edit the full transcript or individual blocks. Export in TXT, SRT, or VTT formats, or share the original audio file directly.
