What’s New Version 1.21
NEW
Remember voices: read one sentence aloud (or save a speaker straight from a recording) and the app recognises who's talking in every future recording. Voices are learned and stored entirely on your device.
Enhance audio (Pro): a clean-up pass for quiet or messy recordings: less rumble, steadier volume, noticeably fewer mistakes.
Options menu: everything for a recording now lives in one tidy menu: export, transcribe again, and more.
A proper Settings screen: appearance, default model & language, voices and help, all in one place.
IMPROVED
Smarter transcription: long recordings are split on natural pauses instead of blind 30-second blocks: fewer errors, fewer made-up words, and often faster too.
Sharper speaker detection: tell the app how many people were talking and accuracy jumps; short interjections no longer flip the speaker mid-sentence.
A clearer Models page: see at a glance how fast and how accurate every model is before you download it.
Simpler everywhere: microphone modes are gone (the standard mic simply does it best), and the whole UI got a polish.
Now fully available in Dutch, German and Spanish.
FIXED
Your music resumes properly after playing or recording a memo.
Very long recordings and imported files no longer strain memory, and the final moments of a recording are never dropped again.
Apple Watch: start a new memo while the previous one is still on its way to your iPhone, and memos now keep their real recording time.
If speaker detection ever fails, the app now says so instead of silently shrugging.
As always: no cloud, no account, nothing ever leaves your phone.
Description
Just Transcribe turns your voice into text, entirely on your iPhone and iPad. No cloud. No account. No tracking. Your recordings never leave your device, because there is nowhere else for them to go.
Most transcription apps quietly ship your audio off to a server. This one does not. The AI lives on your phone, so the moment you stop recording, the only copy in the world is already in your pocket.
WHAT IT DOES
Record live or import a file, pick how clever you want the AI to be, and read your words back as text. Follow along as it plays, fix the odd slip, see who said what, and boil an hour of talk down to the point. One job, done well, minding its own business.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Transcription, speaker recognition, voice memory and summaries all run on-device. Nothing is uploaded.
• No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no third parties.
• It goes online exactly once, to download a model. After that, nothing.
• Delete any recording, transcript, voice or model whenever you like. Gone is gone.
REMEMBERS WHO'S TALKING
It tells speakers apart and labels every line, so an hour of meeting reads like a chat. Save someone's voice once, by reading a single sentence aloud, and the app names that person automatically in everything after. Voiceprints are learned on your device and never leave your phone.
BOILED DOWN TO THE POINT
A built-in AI reads your transcript and hands back the gist: a tidy summary, the bullet points, the decisions and the to-dos. On your phone like everything else, so not a word goes to the cloud.
TEN ENGINES, ONE TAP APART
Nine Whisper models plus NVIDIA's Parakeet v3, downloaded once and kept on your device:
• Tiny, blink and it is done. Just do not be shocked when "good morning" comes out as "banana".
• Base, the sensible one. Reliable, unremarkable, the Toyota Corolla of transcription.
• Large v3 Turbo, the finest there is. Your phone whispers a quiet prayer, then absolutely delivers.
...plus Small, the English-only Distil pair and the rest of the Large line.
SMARTER BY THE WORD
Long recordings split on natural pauses, not blind 30-second blocks: fewer errors, fewer invented words, often faster. Tell it how many people were talking and speaker detection sharpens right up.
SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE
Fifty languages, from Dutch and English to Arabic, Hindi and Chinese. Leave it on Automatic, or pin it for the sharpest result. The app itself now speaks Dutch, German and Spanish too.
FOLLOW ALONG AS IT PLAYS
Press play and the words light up in sync. Tap any line to jump to that moment. Fix a name, tidy the punctuation, find and replace across the whole transcript in one go.
IN THE CAR, ON YOUR WRIST
• CarPlay: start a recording from your car's screen, hands on the wheel. It is waiting on your iPhone when you stop.
• Apple Watch: record from your wrist or its widget, then transcribe on the bigger screen.
STAYS ORGANISED
Import wav, mp3, m4a, aiff and more. Group into folders. Search by title or by the words inside any transcript. Copy, share, or export as SRT or VTT subtitles, PDF or plain text, speaker labels and all.
FREE TO START, ONE HONEST PRICE
Download it for nothing and start transcribing. Tiny and Base, all fifty languages, folders, search, the lot. Free for good, not a trial.
When you want the sharp end of it, that is Pro: every bigger model, follow along, speaker recognition with voice memory, on-device summaries, audio enhancement, editing, subtitle and PDF export, CarPlay and Apple Watch. One payment, the once. No subscription. No ads. No account.
Made by one person in the Netherlands, for anyone who reckons their voice should stay theirs.
Just Transcribe. Yes, the period is part of the name.

Build 887602958v1.22026-07-03 18:44:06
• AI on your device (Pro): Summarize any transcript, pull out the key takeaways, or turn a recording into clear bullet point notes. Everything is processed privately on your iPhone, so nothing ever leaves it.
• New "Extra" engine, Parakeet v3: A fast and accurate alternative transcription engine, tuned for European languages.
• CarPlay support: Record your transcriptions straight from your car's display.
• Speakers in your exports: Copying a transcript as text now includes the speaker labels next to what was said.
• Stays awake while recording: Your iPhone no longer goes to sleep during transcription, so long sessions are never cut off.
Also in this update: a redesigned AI loading animation, a faster language picker, and various bug fixes and stability improvements.
Build 887304821v1.12026-06-24 11:12:17
This is the big one. Just Transcribe is now free to download, and it has picked up a few tricks.
• Follow along. The words light up in time with the audio as it plays, perfectly in sync.
• Who said what. On-device speaker recognition labels each voice and lays the conversation out cleanly.
• Edit your transcripts. Fix a misheard word, run find and replace, rename a speaker everywhere at once.
• Export properly. SRT and VTT subtitles, a tidy PDF, or plain text, speaker labels and all.
• Apple Watch. Record from your wrist and let your iPhone do the transcribing, with a watch-face complication for one-tap recording.
• Fifty languages, up from five. The app now speaks Dutch, German and Spanish too.
Free for good with Tiny and Base and every language. One honest, one-time payment unlocks the rest. No subscription, no ads, no account. On-device as ever, your voice stays yours.
