NewTake
NewTake is an iOS app that turns long recordings into shorter captioned clips by trimming rambling, dead air, and false starts. On the iPhone, scene detection, speech transcription, and quality scoring use Apple’s on-device machine learning. You describe the intended story in one sentence, and that guidance informs each keep-or-cut decision. Every scene shows the decision and its reasoning; cuts can be overridden, and trims remain visible and reversible. Captions appear word by word with speech and can be edited or removed with one tap. The built-in music library is available on every plan and can lower music while you speak. NewTake combines camera-roll clips from different cameras and formats. Finished videos save to Photos, are share-ready, and have no watermarks. The maker says video and audio stay on the iPhone; transcript text is sent securely for recommendations and is not stored. A typical video takes about a minute to analyze. Free includes three AI-edited videos monthly; Pro includes unlimited videos.
