Open the original- What it measures
- Journal is Apple's built-in journaling app. The listing describes voice recording inside an entry, separate from the keyboard's dictation key. It does not say whether the transcription runs on the device or on Apple's servers.
- What it does not show
- The listing describes the feature, not where the audio goes or how accurate the transcript is. Test the feature on your own device before you rely on it for private entries.
