Secure Interview Transcription

Complete source protection – 100% offline, no cloud uploads

Why Journalists Trust Transkript

In investigative journalism, source protection isn't optional – it's essential. Cloud-based transcription services require uploading your recordings to third-party servers, creating potential vulnerabilities and legal exposure.

Transkript is different. It runs entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your audio never leaves your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. No accounts, no uploads, no data trails.

🔒 Complete Privacy Guarantee

All transcription happens on your device – never in the cloud
No account required – no login, no user tracking
No internet connection needed after app download
Audio files are never uploaded or stored externally
Delete recordings anytime – only the transcript remains
GDPR and journalist privilege compliant
