Description

Aiko is an AI transcription app from Sindre Sorhus that helps users convert audio into text on macOS, iOS, and visionOS. The app is powered by OpenAI’s Whisper model and runs transcription locally on the user’s device. This on-device approach makes Aiko well suited for private meetings, lectures, interviews, voice notes, and sensitive recordings. On macOS, Aiko uses the Whisper large v2 model, while iOS uses the medium or small model depending on available device memory. The app supports Shortcuts, giving users flexible ways to record, transcribe, copy results, create subtitles, save text, or connect transcripts to other workflows. Users can transcribe from Finder on macOS, record and transcribe from iPhone shortcuts, or build custom workflows that pass transcripts into apps like Notes or ChatGPT. Aiko includes a free 14-day TestFlight trial with full app access and no auto-charges. Older macOS versions are available for users on macOS 13, 14, and 15. By combining local Whisper transcription, Apple platform support, privacy, and Shortcuts automation, Aiko gives users a simple way to turn speech into text.

Description

The Apple Foundation Models framework enables developers to leverage Apple's on-device model, which excels in language comprehension, organized output, and invoking tools. This framework grants access to the large language model integral to Apple Intelligence, thereby assisting applications in executing intelligent tasks tailored to their specific needs. By recognizing patterns, the text-based on-device model can produce relevant text in response to various prompts and has the capability to call upon developer-written code for targeted functionalities. Developers are empowered to create text content across a multitude of applications, such as summarization, entity extraction, text comprehension, enhancement, game dialogues, creative content crafting, classification, and beyond. Additionally, it offers guided generation features that enable developers to construct complete Swift data structures with robust assurances by utilizing the Generable macro, enhancing the versatility and functionality of the model. Ultimately, this framework significantly streamlines the process of integrating advanced AI capabilities into applications.
