Your voice. Your device.
Private by design. Powerful by nature.
Arca is a fast speech-to-text app for iOS and Android. Transcription runs entirely on the device with Whisper, via Sherpa-ONNX. No internet connection is required, and audio is not uploaded.
100% Offline
Continuous offline transcription powered by optimized neural models on-device.
Multi-Speaker
Identifies and separates multiple voices for structured meeting notes and interviews.
Zero Account
Designed specifically for regulated workflows where cloud streaming is unacceptable.
Audio / Video
Import existing audio recordings or transcribe directly from microphone sessions.
Speech recognition and transcription happen on your hardware. Audio is never uploaded, tracked, or sent to external servers.
Recordings are not stored in the cloud, and your voice is not used to train AI models. Arca does not require an account, email, or sign-up.
Transcripts and recordings remain on the device with on-device encryption. Clinical notes are stored in an encrypted local database (Hive) using hardware-backed security (iOS Keychain and Android Keystore).
For the conversations that matter.
I paid for the plus and it’s worth it. For keeping everything local, best app. Clean UI, fast, and accurate.
A highly functional tool for transcription in my work. Being able to process audio without internet and with zero privacy compromise is why I chose Arca.
Available for iOS and Android. Open the app and begin. No email, sign-up, or personal details are collected.
