Meeting Transcriber: Saidby

Saidby is a private meeting transcriber. Record a meeting, or drop in a recording you already have, and get back a transcript that says who said what, made entirely on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Nothing is uploaded, ever.

NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE • Transcription uses Apple's on-device speech models; speaker separation runs inside the app • Saidby has no networking code at all: no server, no cloud, no upload, no sync • No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising identifier • Its App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected": a fact about how the app is built, not a promise • Works offline: the speech model for each language is downloaded once by the system, and from then on transcription needs no connection • Saidby hands a transcript to another app only when you export or share it yourself Client meetings, medical consultations, interviews under embargo: the recording and the transcript stay in Saidby's own folder on your device, because nothing in the app could send them anywhere.

When the meeting ends, Saidby separates the voices, writes down the words, and lines the two up: every paragraph carries a name and a time. Name each voice once, from its first sentence, and the whole transcript updates.

WHO SAID WHAT • Choose how many people are in the meeting (up to 20), and Saidby separates their voices by itself and labels each one • Each voice is introduced by its opening sentence, with a play button, so putting a name on it takes seconds • Speaker changes land on sentence boundaries, not in the middle of a word • One voice split in two by mistake? Merge them with a tap

RECORD OR IMPORT • Record in the app, screen locked, phone in your pocket: recording keeps going in the background and survives a phone call • Or import any audio or video file: voice memos, video-call recordings, MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV • Pick the input: built-in microphone or a connected one

YOUR LANGUAGE • Choose the spoken language of each meeting from those your device transcribes offline: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and more • Typography follows the language: French spacing before punctuation, proper quotation marks, no stray spaces

A TRANSCRIPT YOU CAN WORK WITH • A timestamp on every paragraph; tap one to hear that moment • Edit any line, move a paragraph to another speaker, rename anyone at any time • Export as Markdown, plain text, SRT subtitles or JSON, through the share sheet or straight to Files • Keep the audio next to the transcript, or delete it once the notes are written

ONE PRICE, EVERYTHING INCLUDED Buy it once and the whole app is yours: no subscription, no in-app purchases, no minute limits. Universal purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac, and Family Sharing is enabled.

Made for consultants and managers who cannot upload a client's voice, journalists and researchers with interviews to keep, students with lectures to reread, and anyone who has ever asked "who said that?".

Requires iOS 26 or macOS 26 or later.

Record the meeting. Read who said what. Made in Paris.
