How it works

From sound to something you can send back.

Heard works with files you already have. It never records from the microphone.

  1. Share

    Tap Send to Heard in the share sheet, or add files with the plus button. It joins the queue right away. Queued

  2. Listen

    Heard samples the start, middle and end to pin the language, then transcribes the audio. Listening

  3. Translate

    If the speech is not in your target language, Heard translates it and writes the context. Translating

  4. Read and copy

    Open the card, copy any section or everything, or share the result out. Done

What you get

More than a transcript.

Every finished item opens into sections you can copy one at a time, or all at once.

Transcript

The words as spoken, with timestamps unless you switch them off. Tap Transcribe again for a fresh pass.

Translation

Into the target language you choose, and only when it is needed. Speech already in your language is left as is.

Summary and context

One paragraph that covers the whole recording, so you know what it was about before you read every word.

Key points and action items

The things that matter, and the things someone has to do, pulled out as short lists.

Mentions and tone

People, places, dates and numbers that come up, plus a read on the tone of the message.

Reply drafts

Four copy-ready replies in your language, Warm, Short, Formal and Casual. Ask for more replies any time.

For videos, Heard also takes a few stills so the context can describe what is on screen.

Made to be left alone

Set it once. Then just share.

Pick a target language, and Heard handles the rest: detecting the language, translating only when needed, and letting you know when a batch is done. History keeps finished items so you can reopen, copy or delete them.

Privacy

Your recordings stay yours.

On your iPhone

Transcripts and imported media live in the app's local database. Delete one item, a selection, or all history.

No Heard account

Heard does not host your recordings on a Heard server and does not send your Apple ID, contacts or location.

Your providers, your keys

Audio and text go only to the transcription and language providers you configure. API keys stay in the iOS Keychain.

No microphone, no tracking

No live recording, no advertising ID, no analytics SDKs. Read the privacy policy.

Heard is coming to iPhone.

For every voice note you could not listen to, and every one you could not understand.
