SpeakSense

Voice notes with on-device speech-to-text transcription.

Download on the App Store

SpeakSense records, transcribes and organizes voice notes entirely on your iPhone. Speech becomes text with Apple’s on-device speech engine, so there is no account, nothing to upload and no waiting on a connection. Once iOS has installed your language, transcription keeps working in airplane mode. SpeakSense requires iOS 26 or later.

No account. No ads. No advertising identifiers. Your recordings and transcripts stay on your device unless you choose to share them.
