Does it work without internet?
Speech recognition and speaker separation run on your device after the required models have downloaded. Initial setup needs internet. App installation, purchases and some subscription checks also need a connection. Offline operation is being validated before release.
Do I need Apple Intelligence?
No. Core transcription and speaker labels do not depend on Apple Intelligence. Optional Highlights require iOS 26 or later, a compatible device, enabled Apple Intelligence and available system models.
Will it work on my iPhone?
The development build targets iOS 17 or later. Core transcription has been tested on an iPhone 14 Pro. Final supported devices and storage requirements will be published with the App Store release; an iOS version alone does not guarantee good performance.
Does it know who is speaking?
It separates voices within a recording into labels such as Speaker 1 and Speaker 2. You can name or correct those labels. It does not identify people or remember their voices across recordings.
How much will it cost?
Our planned launch offer is three successful transcriptions free, followed by an optional monthly or annual subscription for more. Prices will be shown before purchase. No subscription starts automatically after the free allowance.
