VOICE NOTES · iPHONE & iPAD
Vola is an iPhone and iPad voice note app. Transcribe live speech on-device, with optional cloud AI summaries and questions.
CLEAR ABOUT YOUR DATA
Live voice notes use Apple’s on-device speech recognition. Your recordings and notes are stored locally. You can record and transcribe without enabling AI data sharing.
With your permission, summaries and questions send note text to Google Gemini. Audio is not sent to Gemini. Imported-media transcription may use Apple’s network service, depending on language and device.

“What are the next steps?” Ask about a deadline or revisit a decision in your note. Use the answer as a starting point, then check it against the recording.
AI-generated answers can contain errors. Review important details before relying on them.

Live voice notes use on-device speech recognition. Language and device support still apply. AI summaries and chat require internet; imported-media transcription may also need Apple’s network service. Vola is not an entirely offline app.
Vola stores recordings and notes on your device and does not upload them to a Vola storage server for synchronization. Live voice transcription runs on-device. Imported-media transcription may send audio to Apple for recognition. Optional Gemini features send note text, not audio, after permission.
When you allow AI data sharing, Gemini receives note or transcript text, the title and language when available, and your question and relevant conversation history when applicable. You can withdraw permission in Settings > AI data sharing to stop future requests.
Speech recognition and translation support depend on your device, system, and selected language. Check the language choices available in Vola on your device. App interface languages are separate from transcription and translation availability.
