Speech & Audio To Text Offline is out – transcribe voice messages privately and offline

I’m happy to announce the release of my latest iOS utility:
Speech & Audio To Text Offline a simple tool that converts voice messages (from WhatsApp, Telegram, Voice Memos, and more) into text, completely offline, with no internet, no cloud, and no tracking.

This is not an AI product. It doesn’t use any server or external model. It relies solely on iOS’s native speech recognition, available directly on the device so nothing ever leaves your phone.

Key Features

• Works 100% offline – No internet required, nothing is sent to any server
• One-time purchase – No subscriptions, ads, or upsells
• Supports WhatsApp, Telegram, and Voice Memos
• Fast and lightweight – Launches instantly, transcribes in seconds
• 60+ languages supported – Based on iOS language packs
• Privacy-first design – No account, no tracking, no analytics
• Simple UI – Focused on doing one task well

Why I built this Speech & Audio To Text?

I created this app out of personal need. I often receive voice notes in moments when I simply can’t listen — during meetings, commuting on noisy trains, or in quiet environments where I don’t want to disturb anyone.

I had been using a third-party app for this, one that I actually paid for in the past. But eventually it switched to a subscription model and started requiring a constant internet connection. That didn’t sit right with me, especially for something that should be lightweight and privacy-friendly.

So I built the tool I needed:

• Just a clean, offline, focused utility that does one thing well
• No subscriptions
• No ads
• No cloud or account system

How it works Speech & Audio To Text?

The app integrates with the iOS share sheet. You can simply long-press on a voice message in WhatsApp, Telegram, or Voice Memos, share it to the app, and get an instant transcription.

It currently supports over 60 languages, depending on your system’s language packs, and handles short voice notes as well as longer messages with ease.

Available now

Speech & Audio To Text Offline is available on the App Store now. To celebrate the launch, the app is free for the first week.
