Sopravo

Sopravo is a voice recorder for iPhone and iPad that records, trims, and transcribes conversations on the device itself. Transcripts come with speaker labels, so meetings, interviews, and lectures show who said what. You don't need an account, and no bot joins your call. Recordings can be trimmed, cut, marked at key moments, renamed, tagged, searched, and exported as PDF. Live captions run while you record.

Privacy comes from how it's built: audio, transcripts, and summaries stay on the device, and the only optional backup goes to your own iCloud. After a one-time language download, the app works in airplane mode. You can also start a recording on Apple Watch, summarize voicemails shared from the Phone app, and lock the app with Face ID. The app is available in 16 languages.

On iPhone 15 Pro or later and iPads with M1 or A17 Pro, Apple Intelligence adds on-device summaries with decisions and action items, and the summary language can differ from the recording language. Sopravo is free to download with a 7-day trial, then a subscription from $19.99/year, or a one-time lifetime plan at $49.99 limited to 500 seats. It requires iOS 26.
