The Parakeet on-device speech engine, already available on Apple Silicon Macs, now works on iPhone too.
- Captures meetings with speaker labels (diarization) baked in, so you see who said what without any setup
- Noticeably better accuracy on accented English and 25+ European languages
- Runs entirely on your device, no network connection required, no audio leaves your phone
- Roughly 2.5 GB one-time model download
- Available on iPhone 15 Pro and newer running iOS 17 or later
- Marked Experimental in Settings, Transcription. Best for English and major European languages; if your transcript comes out in the wrong language, switch back to Whisper
