Introducing Lumiso Transcribe 1.0

Our first app is here: professional transcription that runs entirely on your Mac. No uploads, no subscriptions, no compromises.

Today we're shipping Lumiso Transcribe 1.0, the first app under the AppsThere name. It turns audio and video into accurate, editable transcripts and subtitles — and it does all of it on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded, ever.

We built it because the alternatives all asked for the same trade: hand your recordings to someone's server, or accept clunky tooling. Interviews, client calls, and drafts deserve better than that trade.

What's in 1.0

Six Whisper models from Tiny to Large-v3, an editor with synced playback highlighting, search and timestamp navigation, and exports to TXT, Markdown, SRT, WebVTT, and JSON. The app is sandboxed, hardened, and telemetry-free.

The Free version is genuinely useful — four models, every export format, the full editor. Pro adds the Turbo and Large-v3 models for maximum accuracy, for a one-time $14. No subscription; that's a principle, not a promotion.

What's next

Speaker labels, batch queues, and more languages are on the roadmap. If Lumiso saves you an afternoon of typing, tell us what would save you two.
