I’ve been playing around with various iOS apps today. Someone else mentioned “Hello Transcribe”, which is a cool demo due to how real time the transcription is, but it’s effectively unusable for anything practical because it seems to split the audio on 30 second chunks (and not in the contextual way that Whisper normally does it). Whisperboard is a free, open source iOS app (available on the App Store) that seems fairly user friendly, but there are a few crashes and bugs that the author is hopefully going to work out soon. Aiko is extremely simple to use, but it only supports the “medium” model, so it isn’t very fast, but the results are good quality. Aiko is really designed to be paired with another app, like the Apple Voice Memos app, where you can share a voice memo directly to Aiko.
