Reviews: What People Think About Whisper Notes - Speech To Text
WhiplashZamboniMan
Rating: 5/5
While the accuracy of this app is impressive, it does not address my immediate needs. I use VoiceOver and voice control simultaneously and need live transcription to allow for immediate edits before copying the text to be used in other apps. The accuracy when using voice control is pretty pathetic often requiring words to be spelled out letter by letter to avoid capitalization errors and vulgarity from being inserted when it wasn't spoken even though I am in a very quiet place. I will let several of my friends know about this app. It is pretty rare these days to find an app without subscriptions which is greatly appreciated for those of us on a very limited disability income.

This app completely replaced iOS built in voice memo app. Transcription is fast and accurate, all done on-device. Also discovered that I can use this app as a tool for learning a new language. There are a few features that I would like implemented in the future.
Copy to clipboard toggle: Right now the app automatically copies transcribed text to the clipboard. There should be a toggle to turn this off or make this action manual so it doesn’t accidentally override content already in the clipboard.
Make text selectable in the transcribed text screen:
Discovered I can use this app to quickly translate words when watching foreign language TV by using iOS built-in translate function. Right now I have to go to the edit screen to make a text selection to use the translate function. Can reduce a step if I can make text selection directly on the main transcribed text screen.
Bug with shortcut:
I’m using the latest iOS 18.5. This app shows up in the shortcut app and in the control center action as a timer. Clicking on the action doesn’t do anything.
Overall this is a very useful and well designed app.

I was looking for a nice speech to text app with a little more privacy function and stumbled across this gem. To the developer, don’t change your business model. People are getting tired of paying for subscriptions, and want more privacy. You’re doing great! Thank you for the quick email reply, remember 12hr and 24hr based on system settings. The title function is there but figure out a way to bring it to the forefront so it’s intuitive. Keep up the good work!
About Whisper Notes - Speech To Text
Whisper Notes: Offline speech-to-text powered by Whisper AI, perfect for capturing daily voice memos and meeting notes. The app runs completely offline to ensure your voice recordings and privacy never leave your device.
No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads—just a simple one-time payment for lifetime access.
■ Features
- Local voice recording & transcription
- Import and transcribe audio/video files, all offline
- Batch export or delete text and audio files
- Supports export of timestamped transcript
■ Why we made this
Sometimes I have a bizarre dream and want to record it when I wake up, but typing with sleepy eyes is tough. I needed a tool that could quickly capture and transcribe speech.
When friends send messages that need long replies while I'm out walking or eating, I want to respond quickly without sending voice messages.
■ FAQ
1. Does it support real-time transcription during recording?
Not currently—it records first, then transcribes when you're finished recording.
2. Is there a maximum transcription length?
No limit in theory—you can record several hours of audio. However, since transcription happens on your device, longer recordings will take more time to process. I've tested it with about 1 hour of audio and the transcription was accurate.
3. What's the transcription speed?
It depends on your device. On my iPhone 15, the transcription speed is about 1:5, meaning 5 minutes of audio takes about 1 minute to transcribe.
4. Why is this a paid app without a free trial?
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.
If you're not satisfied, just tap the settings button in the top right corner to find the "Request Refund" option.
5. Why doesn't it support AI summaries?
Privacy is our top priority. We never upload your voice recordings or transcriptions to any AI services or cloud servers. You can always copy your transcriptions and use your preferred AI tool separately if you want summaries.
6. Why does transcription stop when I switch to another app?
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.
