A podcast player with a mic button

Keep the idea the second you hear it.

Good ideas tend to show up halfway through an episode, usually while you're driving and can't write anything down. VoiceMark puts a mic button next to play. Tap it, say what you're thinking, and the note is saved at that second of the episode.

How it works

One tap while you listen. The note remembers where it came from.

Every note keeps the show, the episode, the second you were at, your voice and a transcript. Tap it later and the episode plays from that moment.

Tap the mic and talk. Recording stops when you tap again, or on its own after a few seconds of silence, so your eyes can stay on the road. A short chime tells you when it starts and when it stops.

Transcripts

Your voice turns into text on the phone

Each note is transcribed on your iPhone by Apple's on-device speech model, in Arabic or English. The audio never goes to a server. The original recording is kept, so you can always hear what you actually said, and you can fix the text or type your own.

Questions

Good to know

Does my voice leave my phone?

No. Notes are recorded and transcribed on your phone and stay there, unless you share or export one yourself.

Which languages can it transcribe?

Arabic and English. You choose the note language in Settings. A note that mixes the two is transcribed in the language you picked, so expect a few slips in the other one.

Do I need to download anything for transcripts?

The first time, iOS fetches Apple's speech model for your note language, which takes about a minute. VoiceMark starts that on its own, and your notes wait until it's ready.

Where do the podcasts come from?

From each show's public RSS feed, the same place every podcast app gets them. Search uses Apple's podcast directory. Shows that are exclusive to one platform, like Spotify exclusives, aren't available.

When can I get it?

Soon. The iPhone version is on its way to the App Store, and an Android version is being built. The store links will be on this page once they open.
