Getting started

Requirements
App
iPhone with iOS 26 or later.
Voice capture
Microphone permission.
Transcription
On-device speech support for your language.
AI polishing
Apple Intelligence–capable iPhone with Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings. If polishing is unavailable, you can still transcribe, edit, save, copy, and share the raw transcript.
Offline use
No internet connection is required. Transcription and polishing run on your device, so SayWrite works on a plane, a train, or anywhere without Wi‑Fi or mobile data.
Common questions
Is SayWrite free?
Yes. SayWrite is completely free—no subscription, no in-app purchases, and no usage limits. Unlike many transcription and AI note apps on the App Store, there is no paywall and no meter on how much you can dictate or polish.
Apple Intelligence isn’t available
Enable Apple Intelligence in Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri on a supported device. Polishing needs the on-device model; transcription does not.
No speech was detected
Speak clearly near your iPhone. Check that no other app is using the microphone. Try again in a quieter environment.
Microphone access denied
Go to Settings → SayWrite → Microphone and enable access.
Speech model downloading
On first use, iOS may download speech assets. Wait for the download to finish (check Settings → SayWrite → Availability in the app).
Custom dictionary
Add “heard as” → “correct spelling” pairs in Settings → Dictation → Custom dictionary. Corrections apply after transcription and during polishing.
Delete all my data
Use Settings → Privacy and data → Delete all drafts (and optionally delete retained audio or reset settings).
