Why it exists

The transcript is only the beginning.

A draft is useful only when you can find the moment, check the wording, fix the text, save the quote, and send the right format without uploading sensitive audio to a meeting bot.

Built for existing recordings

Start from Files, Voice Memos, Photos/video, shared audio, or a fresh recording. Imports are saved locally before transcription setup begins.

Local models, explicit quality

Fast, Balanced, and Accurate presets make model choice visible. Downloads are user-initiated, size-aware, and validated before a model is marked installed.

Quote-safe by design

Document mode keeps text readable; Timestamps mode keeps the source moment close. Saved quotes link back to playback, not just copied text.

Workflow

Record or import. Transcribe locally. Verify. Export.

01

Bring in the source

Record directly, pick audio/video from Files, or use Share Extension handoff for existing recordings.

02

Prepare a local transcript

Choose a model preset and transcript language. Auto-detect stays the default when the engine supports it.

03

Work with the text

Search inside recordings, edit segments inline, keep original text, and jump to playback from timestamps.

04

Send the right format

Copy text, export plain TXT, timestamped TXT, bookmarked quotes, or SRT subtitles through iOS sharing.

Real app screens

A quiet workspace for important recordings.

These are current app captures placed in the same iPhone frame used for the Store screenshot renderer.

Who it helps

Made for people who need to trust the quote.

Journalists and interviewers

Keep source audio local, search the archive, bookmark usable quotes, and replay the exact moment before publishing.

Podcasters and creators

Import episodes or video clips, review the text, then export subtitles or timestamped notes for editing and publishing.

Researchers and students

Turn lectures, field notes, and interviews into searchable documents without turning every conversation into a cloud upload.

Privacy stance

Sensitive recordings should stay close.

SaidInk is designed around local files, local model transcription after download, and user-controlled exports. Internet access is used for model downloads, Apple purchases/restore flows, and explicit system services the user chooses.

No SaidInk account required

No analytics or advertising SDKs

No cloud transcription on SaidInk servers

Purchases handled through Apple StoreKit 2

Product depth

The details that make it a studio.

Transcript language is separate from app language

Auto plus manual transcript choices cover EN, RU, UK, PL, TR, DE, FR, ES, IT, PT, NL, SV, DA, FI, and NO. App UI is staged across EN, RU, UK, PL, DE, FR, ES, IT, PT-BR, NL, and TR.

Free is useful, Pro removes the ceiling

New installs start with 14 days of full access. After that, Free keeps recording, import, copy, TXT, timestamped TXT, library search, editing, and 15 minutes/day of transcription. Pro unlocks unlimited local transcription, SRT, and bookmarked quote export.

Failure does not erase the source

Transcription errors keep audio intact. Long files use chunks and checkpoints; imports are saved as local recordings before the transcript workflow starts.

Access and Pro

Clear limits, no dark pattern.

Trial and Pro copy stays plain: purchases are handled by Apple, restore is available, and basic text export remains useful after the trial.

Free after trial

15 min/day

Daily local transcription allowance after the 14-day full-access start.

Preparing for external TestFlight.

SaidInk is in active development. Recording, import, local transcription, transcript editing, quote verification, exports, StoreKit foundation, privacy pages, and screenshot pipeline are already in place; external beta opens after final readiness checks.
