## Aiko Description
High-quality on-device transcription. Easily convert speech to text from meetings, lectures, and more.

The transcription is powered by OpenAI&#039;s Whisper running locally on your device. Nothing leaves your device.

You can export the transcription as subtitles too. It has a word-replacement feature to let you automatically fix common mistakes.

Aiko favors accuracy over speed.

It does not do live transcription while recording.
It does not currently have speaker detection.


Try the trial first. See website.

Note: Sharing from Voice Memos on iOS 26 does not work because of a iOS 26 bug outside of my control.


Supports audio in 100 different languages:
Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Assamese, Azerbaijani, Bangla, Bashkir, Basque, Belarusian, Bosnian, Breton, Bulgarian, Burmese, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Gujarati, Haitian Creole, Hausa, Hawaiian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Javanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Latin, Latvian, Lingala, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Malagasy, Malay, Malayalam, Maltese, Marathi, Mongolian, Māori, Nepali, Norwegian, Norwegian Nynorsk, Occitan, Pashto, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Sanskrit, Serbian, Shona, Sindhi, Sinhala, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tajik, Tamil, Tatar, Telugu, Thai, Tibetan, Turkish, Turkmen, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yiddish, Yoruba


The app was made possible thanks to Whisper by OpenAI and whisper.cpp by Georgi Gerganov.


■ FAQ

‣ Can I edit the text in the app?

I don&#039;t plan to support any editing. Export the transcription and edit it in a proper text editor.

‣ Why is the app so large?

The app delivers the highest quality transcription on the market for 100 different languages. Rather than asking why it&#039;s so large, the real question is how is it so small.

‣ Why is the transcription so slow?

The app favors accuracy over speed. However, performance is expected to improve in the coming months.

‣ Why must I keep the iOS app open while it transcribes?

iOS apps are fundamentally restricted from operating in the background for extended periods.

‣ Can I delete some of the languages to save space?

This is unfortunately not possible. The model has all the languages stored together in a way that makes it impossible to remove just some languages.


More FAQs on the website.


■ Technical details

The app uses the Whisper medium or small model on iOS depending on available memory and the large v3 model on macOS.


■ Privacy

The transcription is done locally on your device. Nothing leaves your device.

## Aiko Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Use it everyday"
Absolutely incredible find. Get on it before it becomes viral. Utterly delicious to use. Lifesaver.
-- M Ewas, 2024-12-30

### ***** "Amazing app and humanity on display"
This app is such a lifesaver for me… limitations will always exist with Whisper in the background but the app and iPadOS shortcuts has fixed so many manual processes i used on macOS before. Thank you amazing Dev 🫶
-- bohs.be, 2024-11-04

### ***** "Soooo good!"
Its so good and cant believe it can run locally too. Not need to upload anything. This is whati call an App!
-- EveryNameTakenWTF, 2024-10-24

### *---- "Not useable. Keeps crashing"
Have downloaded, deleted and reinstalled. Have tried a second iPhone. App just keeps crashing every time, just a few seconds into the transcription process.
-- Mulberry1952, 2024-10-09

### ***** "Good transcription"
Works really well. Would appreciate if there was a choice between several models.
-- DarianSS, 2024-10-06

### ***** "Knockout. nearly perfect transcriptions"
This app has totally exceeded my expectations: I fed into it audio files in which I was murmuring and mumbling while half asleep, and while I was groggy, while I was going for a walk and recording my thoughts, while I was playing my guitar - and each time the app produced a near-perfect transcription.
My only worry is that it is so good that it will be removed once Microsoft has got its act fully together.
-- Natlerock, 2024-09-04

### ***** "Aiko"
I was really impressed with the accuracy of this transcription app.
-- gwinn102, 2024-07-27

### ***** "Astonishingly good!"
I needed to write up an hour long conversation with a coleague, which would have takend many hours. Aiko did the job in about half an hour and I&#039;m delighted. It was accurate and concise, it ignored all the &#039;ums&#039; and &#039;ahs&#039; and even the interruption when someone came to the door! It did auto detect our language as Welsh, which was interesting but quickly remedied by choosing English.
And the best bit - it&#039;s free!
-- GVC AI, 2024-07-27

### ***** "Excellent"
My expectations are that ‘no’ transcription Apps would be 100% accurate, and that’s true for Aiko. However, the accuracy exceeded my expectations and overall I think this is an excellent App. 

It would be very useful if the software could recognise different voices and insert Speaker 1 / Speaker 2 / etc prior to each piece of transcription. It would also be useful if it used more line breaks, as it tends to produce large amounts of block text. Maybe additional features such as this will be added over time. 

Regardless, this App has been incredibly useful and a big time-saver.
-- ThreethirtyD, 2024-07-25

### ***** "Really Impressed"
I’ve tried a bunch of transcription apps and this is without doubt the most accurate and effective. Please support this developer!
-- therealdEEB, 2024-06-11

### ***** "Simply brilliant!"
…and free to use 😊
-- futtt1992, 2024-04-27

### ***** "Great transcriptions"
Works well, and is a nice and simple tool
-- David Roussel, 2024-04-21

### ***** "The developer is as awesome as this app"
The guy behind this app, Sindre, is brilliant. I don’t know him at all, but he’s made this entire app, 100% free, just to allow other people to use Whisper easily. Not only that, but he’s even made shortcuts you can download to use with the shortcut iOS and macOS app for Aiko to be even more useful. He’s got a comprehensive guide of everything on his website. So not only he’s done this awesome app, but also went the extra mile with everything on the website. Mate!! You’re brilliant Sindre, thank you so much.
-- OddMnc, 2024-04-19

### ***** "Simple and effective"
Nice neat UI which produces acceptable output within the limitations of Whisper. Better than the speech recognition in IOS in my opinion. 
I’m now using it every day.
-- hwilli5, 2024-03-26

### ***** "Superb"
Tried a few languages and picked
All up very well super impressed so far 
Thanks to the developers
-- Kleslye, 2024-03-05

### ***** "Superb free implementation of Whisper"
This has been a lifesaver for having a common interface on the desktop and mobile to access this great transcription model, locally, privately and amazingly, for FREE! Give it a shot, you can&#039;t go wrong with it.
-- TerryTucker, 2024-03-04

### ***** "Amazing!"
Wonderful ap. Saved me hours transcribing meeting! I&#039;m totally blown away that it&#039;s free!
-- ewanthedreamsheep, 2024-02-25

### ***** "Perfect"
Exactly what I was after. Near perfect accuracy, even with names and medical phrases. Doesn’t over process the outcome as I have a tendency to repeat words when speaking and it transcribed that too. The price of other transcription apps is scandalous so the fact that this is FREE and incredibly accurate just blows me away. Thank you.
-- Picklessaysno, 2024-02-07

### ***** "Free and very correct transcript! Highly recommended"
Very easy to use.
-- Zuriyaw, 2024-02-07

### ***** "Wow. Just download it!"
This app is absolutely incredible. I use this on my iPad and it saves me so much time.
-- Drew6911, 2024-02-06
