Easy Voice Recorder vs Offscript

Easy Voice Recorder records meetings, classes, personal notes, songs and other audio without time limits. It is available on Android, iOS and macOS, with platform-specific features described for Android and iOS. On Android, recordings can use PCM or MP4, or AMR to save space; the app can record in the background and use widgets and shortcuts. Android also supports Wear OS recording with an included watch tile. Pro adds automatic Google Drive or Dropbox uploads, MP3, FLAC and AAC recording, Bluetooth microphones, trimming, folders and notification-bar controls. On iOS, recordings can be transcribed, shared by email or other apps, saved to the device or iCloud Drive, trimmed, and turned into videos with photos. Recordings are stored locally rather than in the cloud and do not automatically transfer to a new device. Digipom says it does not collect, share or copy recordings or transcriptions. The free plan has ads and in-app purchases. Easy Voice Recorder Pro costs $4.99, paid once; other listed one-time purchases range from 0.99 USD to 1.99 USD.

Offscript is an Android and iOS app that turns voice recordings into searchable notes. Whisper transcribes recordings locally after an initial model download of about 100 MB, and semantic search also runs on the device. The maker says recording, transcription, search, and note workflows work offline after that download. Recordings stay on the phone rather than being sent to the maker’s servers or third parties. Audio files use AES-256-GCM encryption, while the notes database uses SQLCipher. Biometric access is supported; Android requires a secure device lock and offers secure-screen protections. Core note-taking requires no account, and the product page lists no accounts or tracking. The App Store listing says transcription covers 99 languages and the interface has 19 languages. Premium adds summaries, action items, PDF, Markdown, CSV, and plain-text exports, calendar integration, and encrypted backups. The free plan includes core voice notes, on-device transcription, and search. Premium costs $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year, or 59.99 USD once for lifetime access. Notes can be organized with tags.
