iOS and iPadOS

Please, does anyone know of any voiceover accesible transcription software or a player for Iphones and ipads with the following features?
* Background playback so I will be able to use whatever notetaking app and at the same time control playback using bluetooth keyboard without having to switch between these two apps.
* Variable speed playback
* Hot Keys (such as "Play", "Stop", "Pause", "Rewind"...) using bluetooth keyboard whenthe app is used in the background.
* Rewind by one, two, five or ten seconds.
* Various audio formats support.
I do not need speech to text function, prefer manual typing.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Maya

I apologize, I never would have thought have doing this on a iPhone or iPad. If you have access to a Mac or PC, you can use Express Scribe from NCH Software. It was a good program because it had foot peddle control for controlling playback.

Sorry, I know that wasn't exactly what you asked for but it was the closest thing I could think of.

Hi, Everyone.
I want to transcribe audio on the go. I'm using an iPhone SE with iOS18.1. I am looking for an app which will play the audio in the background while I use Pages on my iPhone to transcribe and/or proofread. I am _not looking for text-to-speech conversion.

I have tried VoiceDream Reader and Amazing SlowDowner, but the iPhone thinnks I want to dictate when I Magic Tap.
Hoping there are suggestions.
