Our verdict

Live Transcribe records spoken audio and converts it to text in real time, letting you pause, resume, and play back recordings while it builds a searchable, shareable transcript. It's designed primarily for iPhone and iPad, and though it's also listed for macOS, the app itself isn't verified on that platform. The base app is free, but full functionality runs through in-app purchases, and it holds 4.4 out of 5 from 76 ratings.
