LocalLens: On-Device AI

Turn videos, recordings and photos into searchable text—privately, on your iPhone or iPad.

LocalLens finds the words hidden in your media. Import a lecture, meeting, interview, voice memo, screen recording or image to get a time-coded speech transcript and recognised on-screen text without uploading the source file.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Transcribe speech from video and audio
• Extract text from photos and video frames
• Search every recognised passage locally
• Jump from a result to its exact moment
• Translate recognised passages on device*
• Create private summaries and ask questions with cited answers**
• Export as TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT or JSON
• Import from Photos, Files or the Share Sheet
• Lock your library with Face ID or your device passcode

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Recognition runs on your device. Your media, transcripts, recognised text, translations, summaries and answers are not sent to developer servers. No account, no adverts, no tracking and no third-party analytics.

PAY ONCE
One purchase. No subscription.

*Translation availability depends on languages supported by Apple and may require downloading language resources.
**Summary and Ask AI require a device and language supported by Apple Intelligence. Core transcription, OCR, timeline, search, translation and export remain available without them. If a selected Apple speech resource is not installed, iOS may download it from Apple without sending your media.
