Apograph

Apograph records or imports audio and video and transcribes it entirely on the iPhone, using OpenAI Whisper models that run locally on the GPU. It works in Airplane Mode and auto-detects 99 languages. There is no account, no server and no analytics. Recordings and transcripts are saved as plain folders in the Files app.

Transcripts are split into timed sentences. You can tap a sentence to play that passage, edit it in place, or retranscribe it with a more accurate model and compare before replacing. A spell checker learns your names and terms and feeds them back to the model. You can export to text, Markdown or PDF. Recording can start from Siri, Control Center or the Action button, with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and an auto-stop timer.

The free version includes unlimited recordings, the Fast and Balanced models, every language, and the Best model on five recordings. Apograph Pro is a one-time $14.99 purchase. It adds the Best model without limits, on-device speaker separation with labels you can rename, and SRT and WebVTT subtitle export.
