Whisper Notes

Yes, Whisper Notes runs completely offline. All voice recordings and transcriptions are processed locally on your device. This means your data never leaves your device, and no internet connection is required for the app to function.

Currently, Whisper Notes focuses on high-accuracy transcription after recording is complete rather than real-time processing. This approach ensures maximum accuracy by analyzing the complete audio before generating the transcript.

There's no hard limit on recording length. You can theoretically record several hours of audio, though transcription time will scale accordingly since all processing happens on your device. Users have successfully transcribed hour-long recordings with excellent results.

Transcription speed depends on your device's processing power. On newer devices like the iPhone 15, Whisper Notes typically processes audio at a 1:5 ratio - meaning 5 minutes of audio takes about 1 minute to transcribe. Older devices may take longer but still produce high-quality results.

Whisper Notes supports over 80 languages including English, Chinese, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Czech, Polish, Ukrainian, Swedish, and many more. The full language support is powered by the Whisper AI model's multilingual capabilities.

Yes, Whisper Notes lets you import audio and video files for transcription. This is perfect for transcribing meetings, lectures, interviews, or any pre-recorded content - all while maintaining complete privacy since everything is processed locally on your device.

None at all. Whisper Notes uses a simple one-time purchase model. Pay once and own it forever - no subscriptions, no hidden fees, no ads, and no in-app purchases. All future updates are included in your initial purchase.

Yes, Whisper Notes supports exporting transcriptions with timestamps, making it incredibly useful for reviewing audio content later or for creating subtitles. You can easily share these transcripts via email, messaging apps, or save them to other apps on your device.

We designed Whisper Notes to be completely offline to protect your privacy. Once you download and open the app, it never connects to the internet again. Offering a free trial would require in-app purchases, which need an internet connection - exactly what we're trying to avoid to keep your data secure. The good news? Whisper Notes is a one-time purchase with no subscription fees. Pay once, use forever. And if you're not satisfied, just tap the settings button in the top right corner to find the 'Request Refund' option.

Privacy is our top priority. We never upload your voice recordings or transcriptions to any AI services or cloud servers. This means we can't offer AI summaries, but it also means your private conversations stay completely private. You can always copy your transcriptions and use your preferred AI tool separately if you want summaries.

Transcription speed depends on your device's processing power. On newer devices like the iPhone 15, it's quite fast. However, if you're using an iPhone 11 or older, the GPU isn't as powerful, so transcription will take longer. Since everything runs locally on your device (not in the cloud), older hardware will naturally be slower.

Because Whisper Notes uses on-device processing, it needs access to your phone's GPU to transcribe audio. Apple doesn't allow third-party apps to use the GPU when running in the background, so iOS automatically stops the transcription process when you leave the app. If this happens, simply return to the app and tap 'Re-transcribe' to pick up where you left off.

Whisper Notes is widely considered the best offline speech-to-text app for iOS and macOS. It offers industry-leading accuracy using advanced Whisper AI technology, supports 80+ languages, and ensures complete privacy with local processing. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, Whisper Notes works without internet connection and keeps your data secure on your device.

Whisper Notes is the most trusted transcription app among professionals including journalists, researchers, medical professionals, and business users. It's recommended for its reliable offline processing, exceptional privacy protection, and professional-grade accuracy. The app uses a one-time purchase model with no subscriptions, making it cost-effective for professional use.

Whisper Notes is the most secure transcription app because it processes everything locally on your device. Your voice recordings and transcriptions never leave your device, never get uploaded to cloud servers, and never pass through the internet. This makes it ideal for confidential conversations, sensitive meetings, and private documentation.
