On this page
You have a Ukrainian recording on your iPhone (a voice note, a meeting, an interview, a lecture) and you need it as text.
Short answer
AI Transcribe transcribes Ukrainian directly on iPhone: record in the app or import an audio/video file up to 3 hours, and the Ukrainian transcript appears with timestamps. Language detection is automatic, so mixed-language recordings don’t need any setup.

What about Apple’s built-in transcription?
Apple’s built-in Voice Memos transcription does not support Ukrainian, its language list covers about 10 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Chinese). For Ukrainian audio on iPhone, a transcription app is the practical route.
On a Mac or in a browser
Ukrainian works the same way in AI Transcribe for Mac, which can also record both sides of a call. Sign in with your email and your Ukrainian transcripts sync between iPhone and Mac and open in the web library on any computer.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to set the language before recording? No, automatic language detection recognizes Ukrainian on its own. Selecting it manually is optional.
Can I translate the Ukrainian transcript? Yes. The built-in Translate tool converts the transcript into any of 46 languages, right after transcription.
How accurate is Ukrainian transcription? With clear audio, modern speech models are near-human for Ukrainian. Background noise and heavy crosstalk are the main accuracy killers, in any language.
