Offline transcription that knows who said what — and lets you ask what matters.

SonWeave is an iPhone and iPad app for recording or importing audio and video, transcribing it, separating speakers, generating useful notes and asking questions about the transcript.

Core recording and supported local transcription workflows can work offline after required models are available. Optional model downloads, iCloud Sync and deliberate sharing to another service require a connection.

Not through SonWeave's own services. Recordings and transcripts are processed locally by default. Content leaves only when you enable iCloud Sync or deliberately export, share or open it in another app or service.

Yes. When speaker detection is enabled, SonWeave can identify speaker turns locally, display color-coded labels, let you rename speakers and include speaker information in supported exports.

Yes. On compatible devices, SonWeave can answer transcript-grounded questions with an on-device language model and keep conversational context for follow-up questions.

The built-in local chat does not upload the transcript to SonWeave. If you explicitly choose Open in AI or the share sheet, the selected external provider receives the content under its own terms.

The app catalog contains 103 language options across Apple Speech, Whisper and Parakeet. Exact engine availability varies by language, iOS version and device; SonWeave hides incompatible choices.

Depending on the selected language and device, SonWeave can use local Apple Speech technologies, Whisper and Parakeet. Automatic mode resolves to a compatible option and can fall back when another local engine is available.

Yes. Use the iOS share sheet or save the media to Files and import it. The share extension offers the same language and engine compatibility logic as the main app.

Yes. Supported devices can generate summaries, chapters, key points, study questions and transcript cleanup with Apple Intelligence or optional local models. A basic local fallback is available for some tasks.

SonWeave supports useful document and subtitle formats including PDF, TXT, Markdown, Word, SRT and VTT. Available details can include timestamps and speaker labels.

No. The current launch plan is a paid App Store download for a one-time price of €5.99, subject to local storefront pricing and taxes.

That is the standard SonWeave is built toward: private local processing, multiple transcription engines, speaker diarization, transcript chat, broad language coverage and a one-time price in one focused iPhone and iPad app.

SonWeave is made for supported iPhone and iPad models. Performance and local AI features depend on chip, memory, iOS or iPadOS version and downloaded models.

Some local engines require a one-time model download before they can work offline. SonWeave communicates preparation progress and keeps downloaded models on the device; storage requirements vary by engine.

Live transcription is available when the selected language, engine and device support it. Other local engines process the recording after you stop; SonWeave shows when a model or recording session is being prepared.

SonWeave does not meter cloud transcription minutes. Practical limits are the free storage, memory and processing capability of the device, and long recordings naturally take longer to process.

Yes, iCloud Sync is optional. When enabled, supported content is stored in your private Apple iCloud account rather than a SonWeave account or transcription backend.
