Read the voice note
instead of listening to it.
Share a voice message from WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal or Messages into ThinkScribe and the text comes back in seconds, transcribed on the phone itself. Useful in a meeting, on a quiet train, or when someone sends six minutes you would rather skim.
One purchase covers Mac, iPhone, iPad & Apple Watch.
Three steps, no upload.
- 1
Share it to ThinkScribe
Tap share on the voice note in WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal or Messages and pick ThinkScribe. On Mac, drag the saved file into the window.
- 2
It transcribes on your phone
The audio is processed on the device itself, so a minute-long voice note is readable almost immediately, with or without a connection.
- 3
Read, search or summarize
Copy the text into your reply, ask for a summary of a long ramble, or leave it in your library where it stays searchable.
For everyone who gets sent voice notes.
Straight from the share sheet
Any app that can share an audio file can hand a voice note to ThinkScribe. No exporting, no copy and paste.
Someone else's voice, kept private
A voice message was sent to you, not to a transcription company. It is transcribed on your device and never sent to us.
90+ languages
Notes in the family language transcribe as well as ones in your own, and the language is detected automatically.
Summarize a long one
Six minutes of thinking out loud becomes a handful of bullet points, generated on the device.
Searchable afterwards
Every transcribed note stays in your library, so “what was that address again?” takes seconds instead of a re-listen.
Reply with your voice
The ThinkScribe keyboard lets you dictate the reply in the same messaging app, offline, without switching keyboards for long.
Questions, answered.
How do I transcribe a WhatsApp voice note?
Press and hold the voice message, choose Share, and pick ThinkScribe. The note is transcribed on the phone and opens as text you can read, copy or summarize.
Does it work with Telegram, Signal and Messages?
Yes. Anything that can share an audio file to another app works the same way, including Telegram, Signal, Messages and audio attachments in Mail.
Can it transcribe a phone call?
No. ThinkScribe does not record phone calls. It transcribes voice messages, recordings you make yourself, and audio or video files you import.
Does the person who sent it find out?
There is nothing to notify. The file goes from your messaging app to ThinkScribe on the same device and is transcribed there.
What does it cost?
ThinkScribe is free to download and every Pro feature can be tried for free. Pro is one price for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and there is a one-time Lifetime purchase if you would rather not subscribe.
