About this app

Turn speech into text without sending your voice to anyone's server. Private Transcribe runs Whisper AI directly on your phone: record, transcribe, and keep every word on-device. It even works in airplane mode.

WHY ON-DEVICE MATTERS
Most voice-to-text and transcription apps upload your audio to the cloud. Private Transcribe never does. The speech recognition model runs locally on your phone, so your recordings, meeting notes, memos, and ideas stay yours — and speech to text keeps working with no internet at all.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Download a speech model once (starting at 78 MB)
2. Tap the microphone and speak
3. Read, edit, copy, share, or export your transcript

CHOOSE YOUR ENGINE
• Quick (78 MB) — fastest results for short voice notes
• Balanced (148 MB) — the everyday recommendation
• Accurate (488 MB) — better with background noise and accents
• Professional (1.53 GB) — top accuracy for meetings and interviews
English-optimized models are the fastest. Multilingual models transcribe 99+ languages: Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Arabic, and more.

MADE FOR
• Voice notes and voice memos that become editable text
• Meeting notes and interview transcription
• Lectures and study recordings
• Dictating drafts, emails, and ideas — hands-free voice typing
• Private journaling by voice

FEATURES
• Works fully offline after a one-time model download
• Searchable, editable transcription history grouped by date
• Word counts and playback for every recording
• One-tap copy and share, optional auto-copy to clipboard

FREE APP, ONE-TIME PRO
Private Transcribe is free to use, supported by ads. Pro is a single one-time purchase — no subscription:
• Removes all ads permanently
• Translates speech from 99+ languages into English text
• Exports transcripts as .txt files or .srt subtitles with timestamps

PRIVACY, PLAINLY
There is no sign-up and no server that receives your audio. Recordings and transcripts are stored only on your device and can be deleted anytime from Settings.

If your voice is worth writing down, it's worth keeping private.
