With VoiceScriber, your audio never leaves your iPhone for transcription. There's no background uploading or server‑side processing.
Why this matters
- Minimize exposure to third‑party storage and retention policies.
- Keep confidential notes (clients, research, personal data) on your device.
- Share transcripts only when you choose.
Compliance note: On‑device processing reduces data hand‑offs and can help support organizational privacy standards. Confirm regulatory requirements with your legal team.

Download VoiceScriber2) Works anywhere (no internet needed)
Airplane mode, the subway, rural fieldwork, or a crowded conference—offline transcription means you can work anywhere. You're no longer blocked by spotty Wi‑Fi or mobile data.
Real‑world wins
- Capture ideas on flights and review them upon landing.
- Record field interviews off‑grid and transcribe immediately.

You get
- Consistent performance regardless of signal.
- No "retry later" errors during busy events.
- Smooth editing and instant exports when you're done.

VoiceScriber is built for multilingual users. Choose from 100+ languages, switch per recording, and keep your day flowing—English meeting at 9, Spanish interview at 10, Hindi notes at 11.
Tips for accuracy
- Select the correct language before recording.
- Use a new recording when switching languages.
- Review and lightly edit right after capture.
