How it works

From recording to transcript in three steps

Everything below happens on your device — nothing is uploaded at any step.

Record or import

Record meetings, lectures, and interviews on iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch — or import existing audio and video files.

AI transcribes on your device

Whisper Large V3 Turbo runs on the phone itself, even offline. Lock the screen or switch apps — transcription keeps going in the background, about 19× faster than real time on an iPhone 15 Pro.

Edit, search, and export

Rename speakers, fix any word with timestamped editing, and export as TXT or SRT subtitles — speaker labels included.

Imports the files you already have: MP3 M4A WAV MP4 MOV All conversion guides
Speaker Diarization

Know who said what

LoroNote separates speakers automatically — on your device, even offline. Every line is labeled, editable, and stays labeled when you share it.

Detected automatically

Speakers are identified on device right after transcription — no cloud, no upload. Every segment gets a colored speaker label.

Rename once, applied everywhere

Turn “Speaker 1” into a real name and every segment updates. Reassign a single mislabeled segment, or bulk-change all of them.

Labels survive export

Share or export to TXT and SRT with speaker labels and timestamps intact — ready for meeting minutes, subtitles, or interviews.

Who it’s for

Built for the way you record

Four situations where private, on-device transcription pays off.

Meetings & minutes

Capture decisions and action items without sending boardroom audio to anyone’s servers. Speaker labels show who said what.

Lectures & study

Record a whole lecture and turn it into searchable notes you can review at your own pace — even in a hall with no signal.

Learn more

Interviews & research

Sources stay between you and your device — nothing is uploaded. Timestamped quotes are ready to check against the audio.

Learn more

Subtitles & content

Turn videos and voice memos into SRT subtitles and clean scripts without uploading your footage anywhere.

Privacy

Private by design, not by promise

Cloud transcription apps ask you to trust their privacy policy. LoroNote removes the need to trust anyone: transcription happens on your device, so your audio can’t leak from servers that don’t exist.

No servers, no access

We run no transcription servers. Your recordings and transcripts never reach us — we couldn’t read them even if we wanted to.

Works in Airplane Mode

Transcribe with zero connection — ideal for confidential meetings, interviews, and legal or medical notes.

Your data stays yours

Recordings and transcripts stay on your device and sync only through your own private, encrypted iCloud — never through an account on our cloud.

App Store privacy label

“Data Not Linked to You”

The privacy label on LoroNote’s App Store listing declares exactly one data type — purchase history, used for app functionality and not linked to your identity. Recordings, transcripts, contacts, and location appear nowhere on it.

Comparison

  • Works great.

    I recently discovered that my iPad throws out it’s transcription module every time I update to a new system version. That is really troublesome. So LoroNote is a good solution. So far it is very accurate. Thank you to the developer.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about LoroNote's AI transcription features, privacy protection, and how it can transform your voice recording experience.

Is LoroNote completely offline?

Yes! All voice recordings and transcription processing are done 100% offline on your device using OpenAI Whisper. No internet connection is required for recording or transcription. Both audio recordings and converted text are securely stored in your private iCloud for sync across your devices.

How accurate is the transcription?

LoroNote achieves up to 98% accuracy using OpenAI Whisper Large V3 Turbo model. Accuracy depends on audio quality, speaking clarity, and language. The app works best with clear speech in quiet environments.

Which languages are supported?

LoroNote transcribes these 100 languages, and every one of them works offline with the same high accuracy. Languages: English, Deutsch, Español, Русский, 한국어, Français, 日本語, Português, Türkçe, Polski, Català, Nederlands, Arabic, Svenska, Italiano, Bahasa Indonesia, Hindi, Suomi, Tiếng Việt, Hebrew, Українська, Greek, Bahasa Melayu, Čeština, Română, Dansk, Magyar, Tamil, Norsk, Thai, Urdu, Hrvatski, Bulgarian, Lietuvių, Latina, Māori, Malayalam, Cymraeg, Slovenčina, Telugu, Persian, Latviešu, Bengali, Српски, Azərbaycan, Slovenščina, Kannada, Eesti, Macedonian, Brezhoneg, Euskara, Íslenska, Armenian, Nepali, Mongolian, Bosanski, Kazakh, Shqip, Kiswahili, Galego, Marathi, Punjabi, Sinhala, Khmer, chiShona, Yorùbá, Soomaali, Afrikaans, Occitan, Georgian, Belarusian, Tajik, Sindhi, Gujarati, Amharic, Yiddish, Lao, Uzbek, Føroyskt, Kreyòl Ayisyen, Pashto, Turkmen, Nynorsk, Malti, Sanskrit, Luxembourgish, Myanmar, Tibetan, Tagalog, Malagasy, Assamese, Tatar, Hawaiian, Lingala, Hausa, Bashkir, Javanese, Sundanese, 简体中文, 繁體中文

Is my data private and secure?

Absolutely. Privacy is our top priority. All recordings and transcriptions are processed locally on your device using local AI. Both audio recordings and converted text are stored in your private iCloud, which is encrypted and accessible only to you. Your data remains secure and private.

Is there a recording length limit?

No, there's no hard limit on recording length. However, very long recordings may take more time to transcribe and require sufficient device storage and battery.

How much does LoroNote cost?

LoroNote is free to download, and the free version transcribes the first 2 minutes of any recording, as many recordings as you like (exporting is limited). To remove the 2-minute and export limits, LoroNote offers a monthly plan at $4.99/month, a yearly plan at $19.99/year, and a one-time lifetime purchase at $39.99. All include every transcription feature and unlimited use.

Does LoroNote tell speakers apart?

Yes. LoroNote identifies speakers on your device and labels every part of the transcript automatically. You can rename speakers to real names, fix any mislabeled segment, and the labels stay in place when you export or share.

Can I transcribe existing audio or video files?

Yes. Import audio and video files and LoroNote transcribes them just like a recording. Finished transcripts export as TXT or SRT subtitles with timestamps, with speaker labels preserved.

Which devices does LoroNote support?

LoroNote runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18.6 or later, and includes an Apple Watch companion app (watchOS 11.6 or later) for recording from your wrist. Newer devices transcribe faster.

Can LoroNote summarize my recordings?

On devices that support Apple Intelligence, LoroNote generates summaries, extracts action items, and polishes transcripts — processed on device, just like transcription.

Can I use LoroNote for confidential recordings?

Yes — that is exactly what LoroNote is built for. Transcription runs entirely on your device and we operate no transcription servers, so your audio is never uploaded and nobody at LoroNote can access it. That makes it a fit for sensitive interviews, business meetings, and legal or medical notes that must stay private.

Does transcription keep running in the background?

Yes. You can lock the screen or switch to another app while LoroNote is transcribing — it keeps working in the background and the finished transcript is ready when you return. There is no need to keep the app open on screen and watch it.

Do I need an account to use LoroNote?

No. LoroNote is a free download and creates no account of its own, so there is nothing to sign up for and no password to manage. Optional sync uses your own private iCloud, and paid plans are in-app purchases through the App Store.

Does LoroNote work on Apple Watch?

Yes. LoroNote includes an Apple Watch companion app and a complication, so a recording starts from your wrist without taking out your iPhone. Watch recordings appear in the app for transcription. Apple Watch requires watchOS 11.6 or later.

Which iPhone and iPad models can transcribe on device?

On-device transcription needs an iPhone 13 or later, an iPhone SE (3rd generation), or a supported recent iPad, running iOS or iPadOS 18.6 or later. Newer chips finish long recordings faster.

How fast is transcription?

About 19 times faster than real time on an iPhone 15 Pro — roughly three minutes of processing for a one-hour recording. Older devices take longer, and audio quality and language also affect the time.

Is this the same as running OpenAI Whisper myself?

It is the same model — Whisper Large V3 Turbo — tuned to run on Apple hardware, with no Python, no command line, and no model files to manage. LoroNote adds the recorder, speaker labels, editing, and export around it.

Can LoroNote join a Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet call?

No. LoroNote has no meeting bot. It records what the microphone on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch can hear, and it transcribes audio and video files you import. For a bot that attends calls for you, a cloud service is the right tool.

What file formats can I import and export?

You can import audio and video files, including recordings made on other devices, and LoroNote transcribes them on your device just like its own recordings. Finished transcripts export as plain text (TXT) or SRT subtitles.

Can I get timestamps or subtitles from a recording?

Yes. Every transcript is timestamped and the text highlights in sync as the audio plays, so you can tap any line to jump to that moment. Export as SRT for subtitles with timings, or as TXT for plain text.

Can I edit and search a transcript?

Yes. You can correct the text directly, use search and replace across a transcript, and add a custom dictionary so names, jargon, and product terms come out spelled the way you want them.

Can I organise recordings into folders?

Yes. Recordings can be grouped into folders with their own names, colours, and icons, and a calendar view shows what you recorded on any given day, so long archives stay findable.

Does LoroNote sync between my iPhone and iPad?

Optionally, through your own private iCloud. Recordings and transcripts move between your Apple devices using your Apple account, encrypted and accessible only to you — LoroNote runs no server of its own.

Is there a LoroNote app for Android, Windows, or Mac?

Not currently. LoroNote runs on iPhone and iPad, with an Apple Watch companion app. On-device transcription is built on Apple silicon, so there is no Android, Windows, or Mac version today.

How do I transcribe my first recording?

Download LoroNote, tap record, and speak — or import an audio or video file you already have. Transcription runs on the device when the recording ends, with no account to create, no setup, and no internet connection.
