iPhone, iPad & Mac · On-device AI — no account, no cloud.
On-device transcription
Every recording,
transcribed locally.
Drop in any audio or video and SpectaLing transcribes it right on your device — powered by Whisper and Parakeet on the Apple Neural Engine. It picks the best engine for your language automatically. No internet, nothing uploaded.
- Whisper + Parakeet on the Neural Engine — auto-selected per language
- On-device speaker labels — who said what, set the speaker count
- MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV — plus MKV / WebM via on-device decoding
- Tap a word to jump there; edit, find & replace, fix names once

Live interpretation
Hear it interpreted,
as it happens.
Point SpectaLing at a meeting, lecture, or video and watch live captions appear — then listen to a translated voice in your earphones, in real time. Capture your microphone, or your Mac's own system audio.
- Real-time captions from your mic or your Mac's audio
- Spoken interpretation to your earphones, live
- The original is ducked underneath so you keep context
- Save the whole session as a transcript when you're done
Built for getting work out

in any format.
Export to subtitles, documents, or data — with or without timecodes, speaker labels, and translations. One transcript, every format you need.

Capture from anywhere
Files, recordings,
even a link.
Drag in files, record a voice memo, capture system or app audio, paste a URL, or subscribe to a podcast. Share straight from other apps — or point SpectaLing at a folder and it transcribes everything that lands in it.
- Drag & drop, Voice Memo, system / app audio capture
- From a URL or a podcast feed
- Share-sheet import from any app
- Watch Folders & batch export for the whole backlog
Private by design
The AI runs on your device. Your audio, transcripts, and translations are never sent to a server. Cloud models are opt-in and use your own key.
Always transparent
SpectaLing always shows which transcription model and translation engine is running. No telemetry, ever.
One app. Every screen.
Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
