How to save and review original and translated subtitles on iPhone

To review text after a session, use Hono Translate translation records, a Premium feature. Check the saving setting for the mode you will use before starting. End the session, then open the saved record to read, copy or share the original and translated text. Dragging the floating subtitle card taller is useful during a session, but it is not the same as saving a record.

Three different things people call subtitles

A floating card helps you follow what is happening now. A translation record keeps recognised and translated text for later reading. A recorded video preserves a picture and sound with subtitles, if you explicitly record a clip. Choose the result you need rather than assuming one saves all the others.

Look back at a few lines while watching

For Sound and Live, choose Bilingual to keep the recognised original beside the translation. Drag the card taller when you need to see recent lines, or make it slim when you want more of the video visible. This helps compare a missed name or sentence without changing the source video.

Prepare a saved record before you start

In Me, check the saving option for the translation mode you plan to use. Records require Premium access. Start the translation, let the session produce text and end it normally. Then open Translation records and check the saved session before relying on it as your notes.

Review, copy and share the text

A transcript preserves the text the app recognised, including any recognition or translation mistakes. Compare important names, numbers and specialist terms with the original source. Copy or share only the text you need, and check it before using it as a quotation or sending it to someone else.

The records stay on this iPhone. Do not assume an account sync, backup or recovery service: Hono does not require an account. Sharing text is a separate action you choose after reviewing it.

What a transcript cannot restore

It does not reconstruct speech the app never heard, text that was never recognised or a session that was not saved. Nor is it an audio recording, an SRT export or a full video translation file. If you need a clip containing the picture and subtitles, use the separate recording workflow and verify the saved video.

Questions

Is saving records free?

Translation records are a Premium feature. All three translation modes are free to try; that does not mean every saving feature is free.

Can I recover a session after forgetting to save it?

Do not rely on that. Enable saving before the session and check the resulting record afterwards.

Can I turn the transcript into an accurate quotation?

Check it against the original first. Recognition and translation can change names, wording or numbers.
