Offscript vs Whispr Notes

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.

Whispr Notes turns voice recordings into searchable transcripts that can be refined with AI. Start a recording in the app or from the lock screen with one tap. The product says it produces readable transcripts in seconds and is designed for noisy settings. Semantic search ranks notes against a question or keyword by intended meaning. Its AI tools can summarize, polish, correct grammar, clean transcripts, and brainstorm within notes; users can also clean up or export groups of notes in batches. Recordings and transcripts are stored in the user's Google Drive, not on Whispr Notes' servers. Whispr Notes says its Drive access is limited to its own files and can be withdrawn in Google settings, and that recordings and transcripts are not used to train AI models. Its privacy policy lists Google account name and email, usage diagnostics, and crash logs as collected data. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. The free plan includes 10 hours of transcription each month. Unlimited costs $4.17/mo billed annually at $49.99/year, or $5.99/mo when billed monthly.
