Transcription that never leaves your device.

Audio and video into text, on your own machine. Free, no account, no upload, and it keeps working with the network off.

Other platforms

Version 1.0.2 · Free · macOS, Windows, Linux

A transcription app that runs entirely on your computer: drop a file, record a call, paste a link or record on your phone, and get the text in close to 100 languages, with summaries and answers from a local model. Claude and other AI agents can run it for you. Nothing is uploaded, nothing needs an account, and it keeps working with the network off.

Drop a file, record, or paste a link

The first screen asks one thing: where the audio comes from. Pick the language and model under More options, or leave them as they are.

  • Audio, video or a whole folder at once
  • Close to 100 languages
  • Every Whisper model, from tiny to large

Record your microphone and your speakers

Capture a call or a meeting from both sides at once, and get the text as soon as you stop.

  • Microphone and speakers in one recording
  • Pick the devices before you start
  • The text is ready the moment you stop

Read, search and export

Every line carries its time. Click one to hear it, search the whole text, and export to SRT, VTT, TXT, HTML, PDF or Word.

  • Click a line to hear that moment

Summaries and answers, on your machine

A local model through Ollama writes the summary and answers your questions about the transcript. Claude works too, with your own key.

  • A summary of every transcript
  • Ask questions, get answers from the text
  • Local with Ollama, or Claude with your own key

Record on your phone, transcribe on your computer

Pair your phone once by scanning a code. Record anywhere, and the transcript comes back to the phone when it is done.

  • Pair with the phone camera, once
  • End-to-end encrypted on the way
  • The transcript is sent back to your phone

Connect it to Claude, Codex and your own tools

A local API lets scripts, command-line tools and AI agents run transcriptions. Install the skill for Claude Code or Codex in one click, then just ask.

  • A local API on your own computer
  • One-click skill for Claude Code and Codex
  • Ask: “Summarize my last meeting.”
