Quick Look at any transcript without leaving the app.

Built for long audio

A two-hour recording is routine: up to 3× faster, and silence or music never turns into repeated text.

99 languages

From Afrikaans to Yoruba, detected automatically or set by hand for each file.

Nothing uploaded

Works on a plane, in a locked-down office, or anywhere else the Wi-Fi is off.

Import

Drop in anything you recorded

Drag audio or video straight onto the window. No conversion step, no waiting on an upload bar.

Transcribe

One click, the whole queue

Line up an afternoon of interviews and hit transcribe once — or pick a language per file, right on its button. The new engine is up to 3× faster, and every file shows live progress with the time remaining, even a two-hour board meeting.

Review

Timestamps that line up

Every segment carries the words spoken and the time they were spoken, so the subtitles you export drop straight into your editor. Not sure about a word? Play the audio behind any line without leaving the transcript.

Export

Seven ways out

Plain text for notes, SRT, SBV and VTT for video, CSV for spreadsheets, HTML and PDF when the transcript is the deliverable.

Privacy

Your recordings never leave your device

There is no server to trust, because the app never sends your audio anywhere. Reading the file, transcribing it, and writing the transcript all happen on the machine in front of you.

Uploads
None. Files are read from disk and stay there.
Account
Not required. There is nothing to sign in to.
Works offline
Yes, including with the Wi-Fi switched off.
Your transcripts
Saved where you choose. We never see them.
