9 to 5 Mac, Tuesday, April 22, 2025 Best AI transcription app for the Mac comes to iPhone and iPad One of the best Mac apps that we always recommend has made the jump to the iPhone and iPad. If you ever find yourself wanting to convert spoken audio into text, this AI-powered app is a must-have. MacWhisper is now available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, bringing the core transcription experience to iOS.
It took a bit longer than planned, but the first version of MacWhisper for iOS is now available! Quickly transcribe audio messages from apps such as iMessage, WhatsApp and Voice Memos, or transcribe files directly from the Files app. You can also make a new recording directly in the app. The iPhone and iPad app uses local AI models to transcribe audio for free. You can optionally use cloud models on iOS with a paid subscription to cover the server costs. MacWhisper uses AI to transcribe audio into text, summarize transcribed text, and break text up into segments for easily parsing. You can also use chat prompts to work with your transcribed text. While the 1.0 version is fairly straightforward, the MacWhisper team plans a number of upcoming features specific to the iPhone and iPad to improve the experience: This first version is very basic but soon we’ll add a dictation keyboard, shortcuts support, faster recording, more local model options and the option to add your own API key to use the AI features for free as well. Don’t hesitate to let us know what you want to see in the iOS version by sending an email to [email protected].
