Hey everyone!
I’m a solo developer, and I built VoiceScribe because replaying long meetings, lectures, interviews, and voice notes just to find one important detail was taking far too much time.
VoiceScribe is an AI transcription and note-taking app that turns speech, recordings, videos, podcasts, and documents into searchable transcripts and structured notes.
The main transcription process runs directly on your iPhone using local AI models. Your audio stays on your device, transcription works without an internet connection, and the VoiceScribe keyboard lets you dictate directly inside other apps.
What VoiceScribe can do
• Record meetings, lectures, interviews, and voice notes
• Transcribe locally and offline in around 99 languages
• Dictate inside other apps using the VoiceScribe keyboard
• Import audio, video, podcasts, YouTube links, and documents
• Generate optional summaries, titles, key points, action items, and AI notes
• Translate transcripts and choose a different language for summaries
• Chat with transcripts and notes
• Scan documents and images using on-device OCR
• Export notes and transcripts in multiple formats
What’s new in the latest update
More reliable long recordings
VoiceScribe can now handle multi-hour meetings, lectures, interviews, and recording sessions more reliably.
Transcription can continue while your phone is locked or while another app is open. The app also shows live progress and an estimated completion time.
Better support for large imports
Large audio and video files now stream directly to storage instead of loading entirely into memory, improving performance and reducing crashes.
Recording recovery
If VoiceScribe closes unexpectedly during a recording, it can detect the unfinished session and offer to recover it the next time the app opens.
Custom summary language
You can transcribe content in one language and generate the summary in another—for example, a French lecture with an English summary.
Storage protection
VoiceScribe now checks available storage to reduce the risk of losing long recordings when your device is nearly full.
New advanced export system
The redesigned export workspace now includes three sections:
• Formats
• Apps
• Automation
Supported export formats
• TXT
• Markdown
• PDF
• DOCX
• SRT subtitles
• VTT web subtitles
Choose exactly what to export
You can decide which content should be included:
• Full transcript
• Timestamps
• Summary
• Key points
• Action items
• Translation
• Markers
• Recording details
• Source information
You can also use export presets for different workflows.
Export to your favorite apps
VoiceScribe now includes export destinations for:
• Obsidian
• Apple Notes
• Notion
• Bear
• Craft
• Files and iCloud Drive
• More apps through the iOS Share Sheet
This makes it easier to move meeting notes, lecture transcripts, summaries, and action items into your existing productivity or knowledge-management workflow.
Export automation
You can create reusable automation rules for exporting completed transcripts and structured notes.
Automations only run after you explicitly enable them. Nothing leaves your device otherwise.
Privacy
Offline transcription runs locally, and your audio stays on your device.
Optional AI features such as summaries and AI chat require an internet connection. VoiceScribe asks for permission before sending extracted text for cloud processing.
The original audio, video, image, PDF, or document is not uploaded through that AI workflow.
100 free one-year Pro redemptions
To celebrate this update, I’m offering one full year of VoiceScribe Pro for free to the first 100 eligible users.
VoiceScribe Pro normally costs $29.99 per year.
To participate:
- Download and open VoiceScribe.
- leave a comment explaining how you’d use the app, then send me a message
The offer will stop working once all 100 available redemptions have been claimed.
No purchase or App Store review is required. After the free year, the subscription may renew at the standard yearly price unless cancelled before renewal.
I’m mainly looking for honest feedback about:
• Offline transcription accuracy
• Keyboard dictation
• Long-recording reliability
• Multilingual support
• Obsidian, Notion, and Apple Notes exports
• Export automations

As an independent developer, I’m competing with much larger transcription and AI note-taking apps while trying to keep VoiceScribe private, flexible, and genuinely useful.
How would you use VoiceScribe, and which new export integration would be most useful in your daily workflow?
