QuietScribe User Guide

How to record or import audio, play captures back, transcribe with Apple Speech and export structured notes.

Start a capture

Open QuietScribe and choose Capture to start a new voice recording. Pick the capture style that fits the note, such as dictation, meeting, interview, field visit or journal, then start recording when you are ready.

Import existing audio

Use Import Audio to choose a compatible audio file from Files. QuietScribe adds the imported file to the same capture library so it can be played back, transcribed and reviewed like a recording made in the app.

Listen back

Open a capture to use playback controls for the recorded audio. Listen to the source recording before relying on generated text, and use the back control to move through the audio while reviewing the transcript.

Transcribe audio

QuietScribe uses Apple Speech Recognition for transcription. In Settings, choose your main transcription language and accuracy mode. Higher Accuracy Online may use Apple server-backed recognition. Private On-Device requests on-device recognition when the selected language and device support it.

Review generated outputs

After transcription, use the capture detail tabs to review the transcript and available outputs such as summary, actions, email text and journal-style notes. Treat generated output as a draft and check it against the audio before sharing or saving it.

Export text

Use the export controls on a capture to copy text, share it through Apple system destinations, save it to Files or prepare email-ready text. The destination you choose controls what happens to exported content after it leaves QuietScribe.

Organise captures

The capture library shows recent recordings and imported audio. You can open captures for playback and review, use Archive for older captures, and delete captures from lists where the delete control is available.

Settings

Use Settings to choose the main transcription language, select a transcription accuracy mode, review QuietScribe Pro availability, restore purchases, and open support, privacy, terms and other RGT Software Ltd app links.

Privacy notes

QuietScribe keeps recordings, transcripts, generated outputs and app settings in the app's local library by default. Audio or text leaves the app only when you export, share, email, save to another destination, or choose a transcription mode that uses Apple server-backed recognition.

For help, visit QuietScribe Support or email support@RGTSoftware.com. Include your device model, iOS or iPadOS version, app version, selected transcription language, accuracy mode and whether the audio was recorded or imported.
