SotiTalk turns your voice into text in real-time. Capture ideas while walking, take meeting notes hands-free, or brain dump without typing. Get instant transcription that saves only to your device, no cloud storage of your recordings or text. No more voice notes you'll never listen to again. No more losing thoughts because typing is too slow. Just speak, get text instantly, and keep working. Your transcriptions stay on your phone. Simple, fast and private.

I built this app with one hand. Literally.
Recently, I injured my hand doing calisthenics. Couldn't type properly anymore.
But my brain doesn't stop just because my hand is broken, right? Ideas kept coming, work kept piling up, and typing with one hand was painfully slow. Plus it stressed my other hand even more.
So I did what any stubborn developer would do:
I built an app to solve this problem. One-handed!
But here's what I realized while building it:
Voice notes alone are useless. I already had hundreds sitting in my phone that I'd never replay. Who has time to listen to themselves ramble?
And even when you CAN type normally, typing kills your thoughts.
You edit yourself. You shorten things. You lose the raw, unfiltered version of what you're actually thinking. With one hand? Even worse.
Talking captures everything. The full thought. The tangent that leads to the breakthrough. The messy brain dump that actually contains the good stuff.
So I built something that:
- Transcribes in real-time as you speak
- Actually works with technical terms (n8n, Docker, kubectl, things iPhone transcription and other apps get wrong every single time)
- Handles 50+ languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian...)
- Saves everything locally on your device
- Requires no signup, no account, no paid plan
And yeah, the result is SotiTalk.
An iOS voice-to-text app. Free to use.
Since I created it, I use it constantly:
- For brain dumps. Just talk. Get everything out. Then dump the transcription into an AI to structure it. Game changer for working through complex ideas.
- For meetings. No more manual note-taking. Just record, get instant transcription, done.
- For coding workflows. I connected it via API to n8n and MCP servers. Now I talk to my phone, Claude or Cursor grabs the transcription, and writes the code. Or drafts the email. Or structures the document.
Speaking of the API, it's built but not public yet.
If people want it, I'll launch it faster. (just comment below)
Imagine connecting your voice to any workflow, any LLM, any automation you want through n8n, Make, or custom API calls.
I released this yesterday thinking maybe 2-5 people would download it. Woke up to 500+ installs in 24 hours. Apparently I'm not the only one frustrated with existing transcription apps.
The app is completely free. No signup.
I built it for me, which means I built it right.
More features coming soon.
If you have wishes or ideas I can fulfill (in terms of the app 😄), drop them here.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

Congrats on launch.
Actually very useful. I am currently using WARP voice to text for coding work.
The app's language detection is about the same as WARP. I believe a software engineer may want this when they try to write prompts.
Excited for the desktop version.

@wei_yan4 Thanks! Haven't tried WARP yet, but I saw they use WhisperFlow, we don't. I use open-source models on my own servers (in the EU), so it's a different approach.
The desktop version is on the roadmap. Want to nail the mobile experience first, but definitely see the use case for it.
Appreciate the feedback!
