SlateNotes
Voice notes, on your iPhone.
SlateNotes 1.0 is coming soon. It records on your iPhone and turns that audio into a transcript, summary, and notes on the device. There is no account and no cloud sync.
For iPhone
Record, transcribe, and summarize
Transcription and summaries run on your iPhone. Audio and transcripts are not sent to us or to a speech or AI service.
Record or import
Record with the microphone, or import an m4a, mp3, wav, aiff, or caf file. SlateNotes asks for microphone access to record.
Transcripts on the device
Transcription runs on the device after a one-time model download. NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 is the default engine. Whisper Large-V3 Turbo is a Pro feature on iPhones with 6 GB or more of RAM. Apple's on-device speech recognition is the fallback.
Summaries and chapters
Summaries use Apple's on-device Foundation Models. Chapters and action items are built on your iPhone from the transcript. SlateNotes does not use Apple's Private Cloud Compute for summaries.
Notes that stay on your iPhone
Recordings, transcripts, summaries, and notes are stored on your device. This version does not sync to iCloud or any other service.
Your notes
Keep transcripts, summaries, chapters, action items, and the titles and edits you make. You can favorite or delete a note, and you can search your notes.
Custom dictionary
Add words and corrections to improve transcription. Those words stay on your iPhone.
Privacy on your iPhone
SlateNotes does not track you. Ads are non-personalized, and the app does not show an App Tracking Transparency prompt.
