Offline Voice Typing App for iPhone
Scribr transcribes your voice to text directly on your iPhone using on-device processing, so you don't need an internet connection to capture what you say. It works for voice notes, meetings, phone calls, and audio files.
How Scribr Works Offline
Scribr uses Whisper-based on-device transcription, which means the processing happens on your phone itself. You can record a voice note or capture audio, and the app converts it to text without sending anything to the cloud. This keeps your conversations private and lets you transcribe without Wi-Fi or mobile signal. Once you have a transcript, you can search it, share it, or use Scribr's summaries to pull out the key points. The app is designed for anyone who needs to turn spoken words into written records quickly.
What You Can Transcribe
Scribr handles voice notes you record directly in the app, in-person meetings with your iPhone's microphone, phone calls, and existing audio files you upload. It's built for knowledge workers, consultants, freelancers, students, and sales teams who spend time in conversations and need searchable records. Legal professionals, therapists, and researchers also use it to transcribe sensitive material privately. Each transcript becomes searchable, so you can find a specific phrase or topic across all your recordings without playing them back.
Free and Pro Plans
The free tier gives you a monthly allowance of transcription minutes, enough to try the app and handle occasional voice notes. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited transcription and longer summaries if you work with multiple meetings or calls daily. Both tiers use the same on-device transcription, so privacy doesn't depend on which plan you choose. You can use Scribr on iOS and Android, so your transcripts sync across devices.
Why On-Device Transcription Matters
Offline transcription means your voice data stays on your phone. You're not uploading conversations to a cloud service, which matters if you handle confidential information, client details, or personal notes. On-device processing also means you can transcribe without internet, which is useful if you're in a meeting room with poor signal or travelling. Once transcribed, you can choose what to share or save.
Getting Started
Download Scribr on iOS or Android, create an account, and start recording voice notes or meetings. Tap record, speak, and the app transcribes in real time. You can also upload existing audio files to transcribe them. Your transcripts are searchable and summaries are generated automatically, so finding key details from a long conversation takes seconds instead of minutes of playback.
