What's New

Version 3.0.1 ·

Welcome to version 3.0.1 of Perspective Transcribe! Here's what's new: • Apple Watch recordings now keep recording until you press Stop, and they reach your iPhone even when you're away from Wi-Fi. • If a watch recording didn't finish sending, the app now finds the leftover audio and sends it to your iPhone. • Chat answers about the one recording you ask about, without mixing in your other recordings. • Chat works better with long recordings, and tells you clearly what went wrong if it can't answer. • The Transcribe keyboard now helps you set up a transcription model before your first dictation. • The Transcribe keyboard only appears in Settings when you have Perspective Intelligence All Access.

Record Across Your Apple Devices

Record on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch. Pause and resume as needed, then review the transcript when processing finishes.

Chat with Your Recordings

Ask questions about a recording or explore conversations across a date range or your full history. Find decisions, details, and ideas in your saved transcripts.

Playback and Sharing

Listen again with playback speed controls. Copy text, share a summary, or export transcripts as Text, Markdown, Word, or PDF. Export your original audio when you need it.

iCloud Sync

Keep recordings, transcripts, and summaries together across your Apple devices using your private iCloud account.
