Voice first, note ready

Speech to Text helps you capture speech fast, turn it into text, find it later, and send the result wherever your work continues.

Stop replaying everything by hand

Imported audio is useful when the recording already exists: a lecture file, a podcast clip, a saved interview, or a voice memo from another app.

Bring it into Speech to Text and turn it into a working note instead of scrubbing through a timeline.

  • Import audio and video files supported by iOS.
  • Create a text note from existing media.
  • Edit the transcript after import.
  • Export the result for storage, sharing, or follow-up.
