Questions, answered.
Is my data really private?
Yes, 100%. ThinkScribe processes everything locally on your device using Apple's Neural Engine. Your audio and transcripts are never sent to any server. The only thing the app can ever send is an optional, anonymous crash report, never your audio, transcripts, or any content, and you can turn that off in Settings ▸ Privacy.
Does ThinkScribe work offline?
After the initial model download during setup, ThinkScribe works completely offline. You can transcribe, summarize, and export without any internet connection.
Is there a one-time purchase instead of a subscription?
Yes. Lifetime is $199.99: one payment, no subscription. It permanently unlocks all Pro features of the ThinkScribe apps on supported Apple devices (Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch), including updates to those apps. If we ever release a major new product line, such as hardware companions or a separate next-generation app, it may be sold separately, but everything included in your Lifetime purchase stays yours.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
Start with a 3-day free trial that gives you full Pro access, all features, no limits. After that, choose monthly ($9.99/mo), annual ($79.99/year), or a one-time Lifetime purchase ($199.99). One purchase works on all your Apple devices.
Can I record system audio from Zoom, Teams, etc.?
Yes! On Mac, ThinkScribe uses CoreAudio process taps to capture application-specific audio. You can record system audio, microphone audio, or both simultaneously with echo cancellation, perfect for capturing both sides of a meeting.
Does one subscription work on all devices?
Yes! ThinkScribe uses universal product IDs, subscribe once and your Pro access works on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch automatically through your Apple ID.
What languages are supported?
ThinkScribe uses multiple on-device speech engines supporting 90+ languages with automatic language detection. The app interface is available in 12 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and more.
Can I use ThinkScribe on an Intel Mac?
Unfortunately, no. ThinkScribe requires Apple Silicon (M1 or later) for the on-device machine learning capabilities. Intel Macs do not have the Neural Engine required for fast on-device transcription.
