Your words are your business

Privacy.

Utter turns speech into text on your iPhone. Your recordings and transcriptions are not sent to us.

Effective November 14, 2026 · Developed by Sam Lewis

Your recordings and words

Utter uses an on-device speech model included with the app. Microphone audio is recorded temporarily to produce a transcription. Utter cleans up the temporary recording when the dictation finishes, is canceled, or fails. It does not upload that audio or the resulting text to a transcription service or to the developer.

When you finish, Utter inserts the text into your Messages draft. You decide whether to send it. Apple’s Messages service and your chosen recipients handle messages you send according to their own practices; that is separate from Utter’s local transcription.

Settings, free turns, and purchases

Utter stores scene preferences, the number of free transcriptions used, and verified unlock information locally using iOS storage, including the shared Keychain used by the app and its Messages extension.

Apple processes purchases and restores through the App Store. The lifetime unlock is associated with your Apple Account. Utter checks purchase entitlement information supplied by Apple; the developer does not receive your payment-card details. Apple’s own privacy policy applies to App Store transactions.

No account, advertising, or tracking SDKs

Utter does not require an account and does not include advertising, third-party analytics, or tracking SDKs. It does not collect a history of your dictated messages.
