Whisper Notes - Speech To Text

Offline AI Voice Transcription

Published by: Yeonni Lee

Description

Whisper Notes: Offline speech-to-text powered by Whisper AI, perfect for capturing daily voice memos and meeting notes. The app runs completely offline to ensure your voice recordings and privacy never leave your device.
No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads—just a simple one-time payment for lifetime access.
■ Features
- Local voice recording & transcription
- Import and transcribe audio/video files, all offline
- Batch export or delete text and audio files
- Supports export of timestamped transcript
■ Why we made this
Sometimes I have a bizarre dream and want to record it when I wake up, but typing with sleepy eyes is tough. I needed a tool that could quickly capture and transcribe speech.
When friends send messages that need long replies while I'm out walking or eating, I want to respond quickly without sending voice messages.
■ FAQ
1. Does it support real-time transcription during recording?
Not currently—it records first, then transcribes when you're finished recording.
2. Is there a maximum transcription length?
No limit in theory—you can record several hours of audio. However, since transcription happens on your device, longer recordings will take more time to process. I've tested it with about 1 hour of audio and the transcription was accurate.
3. What's the transcription speed?
It depends on your device. On my iPhone 15, the transcription speed is about 1:5, meaning 5 minutes of audio takes about 1 minute to transcribe.
4. Why is this a paid app without a free trial?
We designed Whisper Notes to be completely offline to protect your privacy. Once you download and open the app, it never connects to the internet again.
Offering a free trial would require in-app purchases, which need an internet connection—exactly what we're trying to avoid to keep your data secure.
If you're not satisfied, just tap the settings button in the top right corner to find the "Request Refund" option.
5. Why doesn't it support AI summaries?
Privacy is our top priority. We never upload your voice recordings or transcriptions to any AI services or cloud servers. You can always copy your transcriptions and use your preferred AI tool separately if you want summaries.
6. Why does transcription stop when I switch to another app?
Because Whisper Notes uses on-device processing, it needs access to your phone's GPU to transcribe audio. Apple doesn't allow third-party apps to use the GPU when running in the background, so iOS automatically stops the transcription process when you leave the app.
If this happens, simply return to the app and tap "Re-transcribe" to pick up where you left off.

English, 中文, Deutsch, Español, Русский, 한국어, Français, 日本語, Português, Türkçe, Polski, Català, Nederlands, Arabic, Svenska, Italiano, Bahasa Indonesia, Hindi, Suomi, Tiếng Việt, Hebrew, Українська, Greek, Bahasa Melayu, Čeština, Română, Dansk, Magyar, Tamil, Norsk, Thai, Urdu, Hrvatski, Bulgarian, Lietuvių, Latina, Māori, Malayalam, Cymraeg, Slovenčina, Telugu, Persian, Latviešu, Bengali, Српски, Azərbaycan, Slovenščina, Kannada, Eesti, Macedonian, Brezhoneg, Euskara, Íslenska, Armenian, Nepali, Mongolian, Bosanski, Kazakh, Shqip, Kiswahili, Galego, Marathi, Punjabi, Sinhala, Khmer, chiShona, Yorùbá, Soomaali, Afrikaans, Occitan, Georgian, Belarusian, Tajik, Sindhi, Gujarati, Amharic, Yiddish, Lao, Uzbek, Føroyskt, Kreyòl Ayisyen, Pashto, Turkmen, Nynorsk, Malti, Sanskrit, Luxembourgish, Myanmar, Tibetan, Tagalog, Malagasy, Assamese, Tatar, Hawaiian, Lingala, Hausa, Bashkir, Javanese, Sundanese

Whisper Notes Reviews

Select multiple text files to share?

ewfarrell on

United States

Great app, very accurate transcriptions! However, I use it primarily as a note taker and so may quickly end up with multiple text files. Is there a way to select multiple texts and save them to files in one command? Otherwise I must “share” each individual text to a file one by one, which is rather tedious.

Disgusting

Completely useless app. Don’t waste money on it.

disappointed

neninanine on

United States

im so sad. I was so excited to find this app as a way of writing a book through voice memos and exploration. most other transcription apps punctuate poorly or record in note taking styles/bullet points. I recorded close to thirty minutes of audio yesterday and when I completed it, it began transceibing. The app warns that it starts slowly and learns to get faster, so after a couple of monutes and it only having transcribed 2% of my recording, I switched to another app to focus on in the meantime. I then went to bed forgetting to check it back on my recording. Today I opened whisper to see no record of the recording, as if it never happened; not even a blank audio or failure message. This literally made me cry, as I can never repeat or fully remember the narration of the ideas I recorded. I am so disappointed, this app has lost my trust.

Very accurate

WhiplashZamboniMan on

While the accuracy of this app is impressive, it does not address my immediate needs. I use VoiceOver and voice control simultaneously and need live transcription to allow for immediate edits before copying the text to be used in other apps. The accuracy when using voice control is pretty pathetic often requiring words to be spelled out letter by letter to avoid capitalization errors and vulgarity from being inserted when it wasn't spoken even though I am in a very quiet place. I will let several of my friends know about this app. It is pretty rare these days to find an app without subscriptions which is greatly appreciated for those of us on a very limited disability income.

Good, but can’t find the url scheme to use as a short cut

i love the app. there’s one feature I’d like to have. i’d like the ability to call this app using a URL scheme.

Wonderful App with a Hardworking Dev

SkyX10 on

Had a small feature request and was fulfilled and updated within a week. I hope this app goes far.

Works well, but no batch export

Alinaalinalina on

United States

This app is straightforward and works well. @Yeonni, Please add batch export! Batch exporting all text would help me organize and categorize my thoughts using an LLM (fast) What this app does: Record your thoughts (mostly accurately) by speaking them out loud throughout the day. You can keep the audio recordings if you want. You can select a voice clip/transcript to copy it. (But can’t export/“copy all text” all at once)

Wonderful app!

I really really like your app. Does a lot of what I needed. It was nice to chat with you on discord.

Amazing

jrosen76 on

United States

I love this app on my phone and computer. Simple and precise. Far better than siri for spelling and punctuation. Copies directly to clipboard when finished for pasting into any app you want.

Please make a real time subtitle function

It does have a high accuracy. But it can be better with real time transcript!
