About Private Recorder & Transcribe
Private Recorder & Transcribe is a voice recorder and transcript editor that works entirely on your device — no account, no internet connection, and no cloud upload, ever. Tap record, and your audio is saved straight to your phone. A private, on-device transcript is generated automatically using on-device speech recognition, so your conversations and notes never leave your hands. WHY ON-DEVICE MATTERS Most transcription apps send your audio to a server. This one doesn't. There's no account to create, no server to trust, and no internet connection required to record or transcribe. Everything happens locally on your iPhone. FEATURES • One-tap recording with a live waveform • Automatic on-device transcription after every recording • Tap any word in the transcript to jump playback to that moment • Edit transcripts directly, with automatic titles, summaries, and tags • Search your entire library of recordings and transcripts • Export to TXT, Markdown, SRT, or PDF • Export the original audio file • Delete recordings anytime, right from your device FREE TO START • 3 free transcripts • Up to 5 minutes per recording UNLOCK PRO A single one-time purchase removes all limits: • Unlimited recordings, no time cap • All export formats: Markdown, SRT, PDF, and audio file export • Smart local titles, summaries, and tags No subscription. No recurring charges. Pay once, own it. YOUR PRIVACY, BY DESIGN No analytics. No tracking. No third-party servers. Your recordings and transcripts stay in this app, on this device, under your control.
