Scribbe

Scribbe is an iPhone and iPad app from Scribbe AI Inc. that records spoken audio and turns it into transcripts, summaries and structured meeting notes. Scribbe focuses on in-person audio rather than online calls and is meant for meetings, classes, personal dictation and appointments, so that professionals, students and individuals can take part in a conversation while the app handles the note taking.

The user records audio from a meeting, lecture or dictation in the app, which captures sound with background noise reduction. Scribbe then converts the speech to text in an organized transcript, identifies and separates the different speakers, and generates a concise summary of the key discussion points. It also produces detailed meeting notes and extracts action items and follow-ups, all kept in a searchable format.

Scribbe transcribes in 17+ languages and is built to process long recordings. For work, it captures meeting minutes, shares discussion points and decisions with team members and tracks tasks and next steps. Students can record lectures and study sessions and turn them into study-ready transcripts and summaries. For personal use, Scribbe converts voice memos, ideas and verbal plans into organized written records.

Scribbe is free to download, with a Pro Subscription at $6.99 per week, $19.99 per month or $99.99 per year. It requires iOS 16.0 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 16.0 or later on iPad, and its interface is in English. A Help screen and User Guide are available inside the app, and the developer notes that continuous background recording may affect battery life.
