Many audio cleanup and transcription tools run in a web browser or on a computer and upload your files to a server. clir Voice records, cleans up and transcribes on your iPhone or iPad, works offline and never uploads your audio.
clir Voice needs iOS 17 or later on iPhone, or iPadOS 17 or later on iPad. Ultra needs more working memory than Plus and can be unavailable on devices with too little memory, so try the preview on your own device first. On Apple Watch you can record; the recording transfers to your iPhone for transcription and, with Plus or Ultra, cleanup. Your watch can also start, mark and stop a recording on your iPhone and show live captions.
