Record long sessions with pause and resume, and bookmark key moments as they happen.
The Private Transcription App for iPad
Your iPad is already in the lecture hall, the meeting room and the studio. VoiceMaster turns it into an offline transcription workstation — record live, import files, and read the transcript on a big, comfortable screen.
How to Transcribe on iPad
Three steps, about a minute, zero uploads.
Start a recording with live transcription, or import audio from Files, iCloud Drive folders or external storage.
Watch timestamped segments appear, drop bookmarks with notes, and scrub the waveform to any moment.
Edit the transcript, label speakers with Pro, and export Markdown, text, SRT, WebVTT or JSON.
Why VoiceMaster
Private on-device transcription with pro-grade output.
No Wi-Fi needed — the speech model runs directly on the iPad.
Find any word across every recording, bookmark and note.
Open the app and start; nothing to sign up for and no cloud sync.
Why Use an iPad for Transcription
The iPad sits in a sweet spot for transcription work. It has strong microphones and a battery that lasts through a full day of lectures or meetings, but unlike a phone, its screen is large enough to read and edit a long transcript comfortably. Students use it to capture classes, journalists use it as a field recorder, and researchers use it to review interviews alongside their notes.
VoiceMaster is a native app across iPhone, iPad and Mac, so it feels at home on iPadOS. Live transcription shows segments while recording; when you stop, the full transcript is ready to review with the waveform player, variable speed playback and tap-to-seek on every segment.
Private Transcription for Classrooms and Clients
Schools, clinics and law offices often restrict which cloud services may process recordings. Because VoiceMaster transcribes on-device with no account and no cloud sync, the audio stays on the iPad itself. That makes it easier to use transcription in environments where uploading a recording would not be acceptable.
Start with 120 free minutes every month. VoiceMaster Pro removes transcription time and file-length limits and unlocks speaker identification, video import and advanced exports — with a lifetime option if you prefer to pay once.
