Transcription runs on your Mac with Metal acceleration. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.
Drag & drop MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC — or MP4 and MOV videos. Audio is extracted automatically.
Edit inline, search, jump by timestamp, and play audio that highlights the segment being spoken.
TXT, Markdown, SRT, WebVTT, and JSON — ready for subtitles, notes, blogs, or pipelines.
From Tiny for instant drafts to Large-v3 for maximum accuracy. Download, verify, and manage them in-app.
Auto-detect, or choose English, French, Tibetan, Chinese, Spanish, or German.
Every segment is editable in place. Click a timestamp to jump the audio there; press play and the current sentence highlights as it's spoken — proofreading a one-hour interview stops being a chore.
Six Whisper models, from a 78 MB Tiny that drafts in seconds to the 3 GB Large-v3 that handles difficult audio and rare languages. Each download is SHA-256 verified, and you can delete models any time to reclaim space.
Ship SRT or WebVTT straight to your video editor, Markdown to your notes, JSON to your pipeline — timestamps included, formatting handled. What you export is exactly what you edited.
The real interface — click any screen to zoom in.
