Features

From speech to text
to answers.

Every feature below runs locally on your Apple devices. There is no server.

Voice keyboard

A system-wide keyboard on iOS and a global dictation engine on Mac. Hold to talk, release, and the text lands in whatever app you're in — no internet involved.

AI rewrite

Dictate a rough thought, then have it rewritten as a clean email, a shorter message, or formal text before you paste it.

Ask your transcripts

Chat with a local AI about any recording. Answers cite the exact lines they came from, and tapping a citation jumps the audio to that moment. No token limits.

Mic and system audio

On Mac, capture your microphone, the audio coming out of Zoom or Teams, or both at once — echo cancellation keeps the two from doubling up.

Speaker recognition

ThinkScribe tells voices apart and remembers them between meetings — rename "Speaker 2" once and it stays named in every future transcript.

Nothing leaves your device

No cloud, no account, no telemetry. Recordings and transcripts exist only on your own hardware.

Also in the app

Haptics and cursor control

Four levels of key-press haptics and a spacebar trackpad for placing the cursor exactly where you want it.

Choice of speech engines

Switch between Apple's models, WhisperKit, and Parakeet depending on whether speed, language coverage, or battery matters most right now.

Import audio from anywhere

Share a file from WhatsApp, Telegram, Voice Memos, or Files and it transcribes in the background.

Seven export formats

TXT, SRT, VTT, JSON, Markdown, PDF, and DOCX. Summaries can go straight to Apple Notes.

A library you can search

Every transcript is kept and indexed. Fuzzy search finds a half-remembered quote or that one call from March.

Record from your wrist

Start a recording on Apple Watch; the audio syncs to your iPhone and is transcribed there.

Word-synced playback

Tap any word to jump straight to that moment in the audio; playback highlights each word as it plays, so you can check any line against the recording.

Use cases

What people use it for.

Dictate an email.

Talk naturally and the voice keyboard types it into any app — no connection needed.

Work on a flight.

The AI assistant still answers at 30,000 feet. It's all on the device anyway.

Record a meeting.

Walk out with a summary and the action items already written down.

Record a lecture.

Every lecture becomes searchable notes with speaker labels — useful the night before the exam.

Drop in a podcast.

Get the full transcript and pull out the quotes worth keeping.

Capture a voice memo.

A rambling thought comes back as clean text you can paste anywhere.

Transcribe an interview.

Labeled dialogue you can quote and cite without re-listening to the whole tape.

Mix languages.

Speech recognition detects 90+ languages automatically. Drop the file in and go.

Privacy

Your data never leaves your device.

There's no server to send data to. ThinkScribe processes everything locally — we couldn't see your transcripts even if we wanted to.
