Live Transcriber is a 100% offline AI voice recorder for iPhone and Apple Watch. Record, transcribe, translate, and search conversations without sending anything to the cloud. Your audio and transcripts stay on your device. It works without internet and is ideal for meetings, lectures, interviews, travel, and private voice notes.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm William, an indie iOS developer, and this is Live Transcriber. I built it because I wanted a transcription app that works completely offline. Most existing apps upload your recordings to the cloud, require subscriptions, or simply stop working without an internet connection. Live Transcriber keeps everything on your device: • 100% offline transcription • Real-time translation • Apple Watch recording • Privacy-first by design This is just the beginning. I'm planning to build more privacy-first AI products around Apple's ecosystem. If you're interested in AI, iOS, or building great products together, I'd love to connect. I'm always happy to chat with potential collaborators, designers, marketers, or co-founders. Looking forward to your feedback!
