Record and Transcribe on Your Phone
ScreenApp mobile is the iOS and Android app for recording meetings, lectures, and conversations wherever you are. Record audio with your phone’s microphone or camera, and the transcript and AI notes are ready a few minutes after you stop.
Everything you record on your phone lands in the same account as your desktop recordings. Attend a client meeting or a lecture with your phone, then open the same recording on your laptop later to read the notes or ask a question about it.
What you get:
- Record with your phone’s microphone or camera, or iOS and Android apps record offline
- A transcript with speaker labels and timestamps, in 99 languages
- Chapters that split a long recording by topic, plus AI notes summarizing it
- Ask AI questions about a recording from your phone or your desktop
- Free plan: one recording of up to 45 minutes, with AI chat on it
How ScreenApp Works on Mobile
- Download and sign up: Get ScreenApp free from the iOS App Store or Google Play, and sign up with no credit card needed.
- Record, import, or upload: Tap record to capture audio or video, paste a YouTube or Vimeo link to import it instead, or upload a file you already have.
- Read the notes, then ask AI: The transcript, chapters, and AI notes are ready a few minutes after you stop. Ask a question about the recording and get an answer that points to the moment it happened.
Accuracy depends on the recording. A phone held close to whoever is speaking works well; a phone across a large room with background noise will leave gaps. See how we measure accuracy.

- vs Otter.ai: Otter’s mobile app records offline but only stores audio locally if the connection drops, with no live transcript, and the free plan caps out at 300 minutes a month. ScreenApp records fully offline and transcribes once you reconnect.
- vs Fireflies.ai: Fireflies is built around joining virtual meetings as a bot. Its free plan gives 400 minutes of storage and 20 AI credits a month, and it does not state whether the mobile app records offline.
- vs Rev Voice Recorder: Rev’s app records for free, but transcription is billed per minute at $0.25, so it adds up with regular use. ScreenApp’s plans include the transcript and the AI notes.
Who Uses ScreenApp Mobile
Students record lectures and seminars on their phone instead of typing notes during class. The AI note taker writes a summary and lists the terms the lecturer defined, and the transcript is searchable when exam time comes.
Consultants and field professionals record client meetings, whiteboard sessions, and site walkthroughs with their phone camera. Desktop recordings from the same day sync to the same account, building one archive per client.
Business professionals and remote workers join calls from their phone while commuting, then send the AI notes to teammates who need the summary before the recording finishes processing.
Content creators and journalists record field interviews on their phone, and speaker labels keep quotes attributed correctly when they write the piece. Imported YouTube research lands in the same library.
Language learners record classes and play back the audio next to the transcript to check pronunciation and vocabulary in a written form.
