Vaani is a voice recorder that also transcribes what you said entirely on
your phone, with no account and no cloud.
Tap record, and Vaani captures clean audio in the background even if your
screen locks or you switch apps. When you stop, it turns the recording into
text automatically, using an on-device speech model. No internet connection
is needed for any of this, the model downloads once, the first time you set
up the app, and everything after that runs offline.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Most transcription apps send your voice to a server. Vaani doesn't have one.
There's no account to create, nothing is uploaded, and nothing is tracked.
Your recordings and transcripts live only on your device, in files you
control.
Even if you don't trust the transcript for a particular recording, you still
have the real thing: every recording exports as its own audio file, so
Vaani works as a proper voice recorder first, with transcription as a bonus
on top — not the other way around.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Record meetings, lectures, interviews, or personal notes of any length
• Get an automatic on-device transcript when you're done, with timestamps
• Search across every transcript you've ever recorded
• Bookmark exact moments in a recording for quick reference later
• Edit a transcript by hand if the model gets something wrong
• Export as plain text, as an SRT subtitle file, or as the original audio
• Import audio files from other apps and transcribe those too
BE AWARE
Speech recognition on a phone is not instant — a longer recording takes
longer to transcribe, and Vaani is upfront about that instead of hiding it
behind a spinner. Accuracy is currently strongest for English; other
languages are supported, but haven't all been tested as thoroughly, and
Hindi in particular can still come out wrong. You can pick a different
language, or let Vaani auto-detect, from a language picker before you
record.
Vaani is built by Quietstack. See the in-app Privacy Policy for exactly
what does (and doesn't) happen with your data.
Record, transcribe, and export audio entirely offline, on your phone.
