Frequently Asked Questions

Recording & Transcription

Q: Why isn’t my transcription accurate? A: Transcription accuracy depends on several factors:

Q: Can I edit transcripts? A: Yes! Tap on any transcript segment to edit the text. Your changes are saved automatically.

Q: Why does recording split into chunks? A: Life Wrapped automatically splits recordings into manageable chunks (configurable 30-300 seconds) for efficient processing. This allows parallel transcription and better memory management.


AI Summaries

Q: Which AI engine should I use? A: It depends on your needs:

Q: What does BYOK mean? A: BYOK stands for “Bring Your Own Key.” You provide your own API key from OpenAI or Anthropic. You pay the API provider directly and maintain full control over your data.

Q: Is my data sent to the cloud? A: Only if you choose to use External API (BYOK) for summaries. Transcription always happens 100% on-device. Basic and Local AI options are fully offline.


Purchases & Billing

Q: How do I restore my purchase? A: Go to Settings → Purchases → Restore Purchases

Q: Can I get a refund? A: All purchases are handled through the Apple App Store. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com
