Help & support

Need help?

Email referat@theill.com with questions, problems or ideas.

Please include your iPhone model, iOS version and a short description of what happened.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the app and tap Record.

Is my audio sent anywhere?

No. Recordings, transcripts and summaries stay on your iPhone.

Which languages does Referat understand?

Transcripts work in twelve languages: English, Danish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Japanese and Korean. Referat detects the language of each recording, but you can also choose it in Settings → Language. Danish, Swedish and Norwegian sound so alike that in automatic mode Referat goes by your iPhone's language among those three, so pick the language yourself for those. The summary is written in the meeting's language.

Which iPhones does it work on?

Recording and transcripts work on any iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Summaries need iOS 26 and an iPhone with Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or newer).

Why does it download something the first time?

The speech model is too large to ship inside the app, so it downloads once. After that Referat works offline.

Can I record other people?

Always tell others you are recording. Rules differ between countries, so getting consent is your responsibility.

What does it cost?

$1.99, once. Every feature and every update is included, with no ads and no subscription. If you downloaded Referat while it was free, it stays yours.

Do I get the extra app icons?

Yes, everyone does. Pick one at the end of Settings → About Referat; there's nothing to restore on a new phone. If you bought the Supporter earlier, thank you: nothing changes for you.
