In real time
Speak and watch the transcript and translation appear as you talk. No need to wait for the end of a sentence to show the other person your screen.
Speech, translation and real time — on device Speak, translate, read as you go.
Murmator turns speech into editable notes and translates text on your iPhone or iPad. Transcripts and translations appear while you speak.
Keep a thought, transcribe a recording or translate a message. Prepared speech recognition and translation run locally — on a plane, on the subway or while roaming. Download language packs before going offline.
- Speech to text
- Real-time translation
- No internet needed
Translation
Translation is the other half of the app
Translate text, swap languages and share the result. Translation runs on your device and never goes to a server.
Both directions
Swap languages with one tap and share the result. A language pair may also work through an intermediate language.
In other apps
On iOS 18.4 or later, you can choose Murmator as your default translation app and translate selected text anywhere.
Offline
Download once — no network needed after that
You only need a connection to download language packs. After that, speech recognition and translation both run on your iPhone — in airplane mode, without roaming and without Wi-Fi.
-
Download the language packs you need
Do it ahead of time, while you have internet. Manage downloaded packs and unload models from memory in Settings.
-
Go offline
Airplane mode, the subway, a flight, a foreign country without a local SIM. Nothing needs to be set up again.
-
Speak and translate as usual
Prepared speech recognition and translation run locally. So do notes, edits and search.

Features
What Murmator does without internet
Capture a thought
Tap the microphone and speak. Read the transcript, make an edit, find it later with search, or copy and share the words.
Translate on your device
Translate text, swap languages and share the result. On iOS 18.4 or later, you can also choose Murmator as your default translation app and translate selected text in other apps.
Bring your recordings
Import an audio file and turn it into a note. Pause and resume transcription; the original imported file stays intact. Keep Murmator open while processing.
Dictate from the keyboard
Enable the Murmator keyboard, allow Full Access and activate its microphone session in the app. Return to a text field and hold the microphone to dictate.
Everything above runs on your device once the language packs are downloaded.
Privacy
Your words stay on your device
No account is required. Murmator does not upload recordings, notes or translation text for inference. Language-pack downloads use external hosting. Copying and sharing are always your choice.
- Audio stays on this iPhone. Only the text is saved.
- Prepared recognition and translation run locally.
- Text is not saved to notes automatically.
FAQ
Good to know before you start

Yes. The transcript and translation appear as you speak — no need to wait for the end of a sentence. Everything runs on your device.
Does it work in airplane mode?
Yes. Once the packs are downloaded, dictation, transcription and translation run on your device, so no connection is needed.
How much space do language packs take?
Language packs can require substantial storage. Manage downloaded packs and unload models from memory in Settings.
Can I translate text in other apps?
On iOS 18.4 or later, you can choose Murmator as your default translation app and translate selected text in other apps.
What do I need to dictate from the keyboard?
Enable the Murmator keyboard, allow Full Access and activate its microphone session in the app. Then return to a text field and hold the microphone.
What happens to my recordings?
No account is required. Recordings, notes and translation text are not uploaded to a server for processing. Copying and sharing are always your choice.
