SpiikGetting started
How do I record and transcribe?
- Tap the blue microphone button on the home screen.
- Check the language shown above the red button (tap it to change it), then tap the red button to start. You'll see a live transcript while you talk.
- Tap ■ to stop and save, or the pause button to pause.
- While paused, tap ✓ (top right) to save the recording, or the red button to keep recording. ✕ (top left) discards the recording after asking you to confirm, so use ✓ when in doubt.
Once saved, Spiik transcribes the recording again with its higher-quality transcriber. You can turn this off in Settings → Recording Preferences → Transcribe new recordings automatically.
On a Mac, use the menu next to the record button to choose Microphone, or Mic & System Audio to also capture calls and videos playing on your Mac.
How do I transcribe an audio file or a voice memo?
From the Files app:
- Tap + on the home screen, then Import from Files.
- Pick your audio or video file.
- Choose the language spoken in the recording, then tap Transcribe. Turn on Translation to also get the transcript in another language.
From Voice Memos, tap the recording, then ••• and Share, and pick Spiik. If you don't see it, scroll to the end of the row of apps and tap More. See the full guide.
How can I transcribe a voice message from WhatsApp?
Long press the voice message, tap Forward, tap the share button on the bottom right, and pick Spiik. See the full guide.
How do I get a summary, notes or a quiz from a recording?
- Open a transcribed recording and tap the ✨ AI Tools button at the top.
- Pick what you need: a summary, structured notes, bullet points, key highlights, a quiz, flashcards, a mind map, or chat with your recording.
- The result opens in its own tab next to Transcript. Switch between tabs any time, and tap ↻ to generate it again.
How do I export, copy or share a transcript?
- Open the recording and tap the share button at the top right.
- Choose a format: Transcript (plain text), PDF, SRT or VTT (subtitles with timestamps), or Audio File for the recording itself.
- Pick where to send it, such as Mail, Notes, Files or AirDrop.
To paste the transcript somewhere instead, tap the copy button, left of ✨, to copy all of its text.
Frequently asked questions
Is Spiik free?
Spiik is free to download. The free version records with no time limit, keeps up to 10 recordings and transcribes the first 60 seconds of each. Full transcripts and AI tools come with Spiik Pro, and the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
How much does Spiik Pro cost?
In the US, Spiik Pro is $49.99 a year or $9.99 a month. Prices can vary by country and offer. Pro has no monthly minute cap, and transcribes up to 2.5 hours per recording in the cloud, or any length with local transcription on a Mac with Apple silicon.
Which languages does Spiik support?
Spiik transcribes and translates in more than 100 languages.
Does Spiik work offline?
Spiik records without a connection. On a Mac with Apple silicon, Spiik Pro can also transcribe offline after a one-time 3 GB download. On iPhone and iPad, final transcripts are created online. See how your audio is handled.
How do I cancel my free trial or subscription?
Subscriptions are handled by Apple, so you cancel them from your Apple account. On iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app, tap your name, then Subscriptions → Spiik → Cancel Subscription. On a Mac, open the App Store, click your name at the bottom left, then Account Settings → Subscriptions → Manage → Spiik. To avoid being charged after a free trial, cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. You keep Pro until the end of the period you've already paid for.
My recording is missing. Can I get it back?
Deleted recordings stay in Settings → Recently Deleted for 30 days. While a recording is paused, ✓ saves it and ✕ discards it, and a recording discarded with ✕ can't be recovered. A phone call, or another app using the microphone, pauses the recording. Spiik resumes on its own when it can. If not, go back to Spiik, tap the red button to continue, then ✓ to save.
Can I use Spiik on my iPad, Mac or a new iPhone?
Yes. Spiik Pro works on every device signed in with the same Apple ID. If a device doesn't show Pro, open Spiik's upgrade screen and tap Restore. To sync recordings, turn on Settings → iCloud → Enable iCloud Sync Folder on each device. Recordings inside that folder sync across your devices, and iCloud sync is still in beta. Moving to a new iPhone with Quick Start or a backup brings your recordings along.
Can Spiik record both sides of a Zoom, Teams or Google Meet call?
Yes, on a Mac with macOS 15.2 or later. Choose Mic & System Audio from the menu next to the record button, and Spiik records your microphone together with the other participants' audio, with no bot joining the call. On iPhone and iPad, Spiik records through the microphone. See how to record calls on a Mac.
How do I get an invoice or receipt?
Apple handles all payments for Spiik, so receipts come from Apple. Check your email for the receipt Apple sends after each payment, or go to reportaproblem.apple.com and find Spiik in your purchase history.
