Family history

Recording a grandparent's stories in Italian?

Put your iPhone on the table and let the conversation run; Slate keeps recording with the screen locked. Afterwards you have an Italian transcript to keep, share as text or PDF, or summarise in English for relatives who don't speak Italian.

Recording works without a connection, and Slate transcribes once you're back online.

University

Lectures at an Italian university?

Record the lecture, then search the Italian transcript for the terms the professor used, or ask Ask AI to list the topics for the exam. See recording lectures for tips.

Travel

Getting by in Italy?

Start a live session on your iPhone and read what's said in Italian as text, with a translation into your language. Slate shows the translation on screen and doesn't speak it aloud.

Does the Apple Watch record Italian too?

Yes. The Apple Watch records any language, even without the iPhone nearby, and Slate transcribes it in Italian once it syncs. See the Apple Watch recorder.
