Use case
Dictation and journaling, private by design.
Speak your journal entry, daily notes, or a first draft, and get accurate text on your iPhone — entirely offline, so your unfiltered thoughts stay yours.
First drafts at speaking speed
Speaking is three to four times faster than typing. Dictate the messy first draft on a walk, then edit the transcript wherever you like — it exports through the standard iOS share sheet.
A journal that stays on the device
Journal entries are personal by definition. Simply Transcribe keeps both the audio and the transcript on your iPhone — no account, no cloud diary, no analytics on what you said.
Your language, set once
Dictate in any of the 25 supported languages. You choose the language instead of an auto-detect guessing wrong mid-sentence — especially important for quieter languages and mixed-language speakers.
Questions, answered plainly.
Can I export the text to my notes app?
Yes. Transcripts export through the iOS share sheet, so you can send them to Notes, Obsidian, email, or any app that accepts text.
Does dictation work offline?
Yes. Everything runs on-device — dictate in airplane mode and it works exactly the same.
Is there a time limit?
Under five minutes is free. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks recordings of any length.
