Yes. Tap the microphone in the Entries bottom bar. Your recording is kept, with editable, searchable text when on-device speech recognition is supported and permitted.

Open the app once after installation. Edit iPhone Control Center, choose Add a Control and find the voice entry control. For the Lock Screen, touch and hold, choose Customize and replace a bottom control. Requires iOS 18 or later. Unlock before recording and grant permissions on first use.

Add Untitled Diary’s “Start Voice Entry” action in Shortcuts, name the shortcut, then run it with Siri. It opens the app to record; Siri does not keep listening in the background. Action names follow the system language and permissions are required on first use.

The app requires on-device recognition and does not switch to cloud transcription. Recordings and other entries can still sync through your own Apple iCloud; local transcription does not mean all data stays on a single device.

Keep the audio and enter or edit text manually. Check microphone and speech recognition permissions. Transcription availability depends on your device, system and language; accuracy is not guaranteed.

No. Recording, on-device transcription, Control Center, Lock Screen, Siri and Shortcuts capture are included for free. Pro increases content limits and adds premium sharing card exports and a badge.

Check device authentication and microphone permission, and whether an edit, recording or blocking dialog is already active. The app protects your current work; finish it before starting another recording.
