Record on the spot or import audio and video you already have. A visible pipeline transcribes it in 100+ languages and organizes it into a real note — title, summary, editable sections — with the original attached for good.
In-app recording, audio files from anywhere, or video — Phrase keeps the video and reads its audio.
In 100+ languages, with timestamps and optional speaker labels on the segments.
A title, an emoji, a summary, and a structured body of editable blocks.
Only when processing succeeds. Failures retry cleanly instead of leaving stubs.
A live waveform, a big red button, and nothing between you and the take. Start from the app, Control Center and Lock Screen controls, a widget, or your Apple Watch — then put the phone down and be in the room.
Uploading, transcribing, organizing — every stage is visible, and the note materializes only when the whole run succeeds. A dropped connection never leaves a half-empty note in your library; the task retries instead. Media is processed to build the note, then nothing is kept on our servers.
Transcription covers 100+ languages, and search keeps up: CJK substring matching for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, prefix matching for Latin scripts.
Transcripts live in the Source Viewer next to their audio: search inside them, copy them out, read full-screen, follow along during playback, and tap any segment to hear the moment again. The transcript is how you trust the note.
In-app recordings, imported audio files, and video imports — Phrase keeps the original video and extracts its audio for transcription. Blank notes, PDFs, and image sets are supported alongside audio.
A completed task can create the title, an emoji, a summary, the transcription, and an organized body of editable blocks — with source metadata and the original media attached.
Nothing is left behind. Phrase is server-first: the note materializes only after processing succeeds, so a failed or canceled task never creates an empty half-note. Failed tasks can simply be retried.
Phrase records and transcribes in 100+ languages. Search is CJK-friendly, with substring matching for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean and prefix matching for Latin scripts.
