Aiko turns audio recordings into text with OpenAI's Whisper model, in about 100 languages. It supports Shortcuts.
It runs on Mac, iPhone and iPad with macOS or iOS 26 or later. On the Mac it uses the Whisper large v2 model; on iPhone a smaller model, depending on memory.
It costs $24 once for all platforms, with a free trial. Transcription happens on your device and the App Store listing says no data is collected.
