# Tapescript

> A voice recorder with transcription for iPhone and iPad: it records a class, a meeting or an interview and writes the full transcript, a summary, key points and action items, in over 60 languages.

Tapescript is an iOS app made by Devjoy Ltd (https://devjoy.agency), a company registered in the United Kingdom. It runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later. Get it from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6759007314

## What it does

- Records lectures, meetings, interviews and voice notes on iPhone and iPad
- Full transcript with the time of every line; tap a line to play from there
- Summary, key points and action items (with owner and due day when one is said) for every recording
- Over 60 languages, each written in its own script
- Keeps recording when you switch apps, with a stop button in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen
- Recordings up to 3 hours with Pro; 30 minutes on the free plan
- Import audio or video files, or share voice memos from Voice Memos, Files and other apps
- Search across every transcript, summary and action item
- Share notes as PDF or plain text
- No account; notes are saved in your own iCloud

## What it doesn't do

- It doesn't label speakers: the transcript is one stream of text with times.
- It doesn't join or capture video or phone calls; it records what the iPhone's microphone hears. A call recording saved as a file can be imported.
- It needs an internet connection to write a note. A recording made without one waits on the phone until it's back online.
- There is no Android or web version.

## Plans

- Free: the first 3 recordings, up to 30 minutes each, with the full transcript and summary.
- Pro: 1,200 minutes a month (about 20 hours), recordings up to 3 hours. $5.99 a month, or $49.99 a year with a 7-day free trial (US prices; billed by Apple).

## Privacy

Audio goes over an encrypted connection to Tapescript's servers, where Google's Gemini models write it down; each part is discarded once it's done and the audio is never stored. There are no accounts. Notes are saved in the user's own iCloud. Details: https://tapescript.xyz/privacy/
