Description
Transcribe audio and video files in a blink, automatically, all offline, and with highly accurate results. AI Transcription uses OpenAI’s Whisper technology and Apple Speech Recognition to convert speech (like in podcasts, presentations, lectures, or voice messages) into text and subtitles.
Features
• AI-powered audio-to-text converter
• Just drag & drop: Transcription starts automatically
• Supercharged by OpenAI’s Whisper and Apple Speech Recognition
• Privacy by Design: Your audio never leaves your Mac. Everything is computed on-device, all offline.
• User-friendly, lightweight design, yet powerful
• Export transcriptions as plain text, CSV, SRT, and WEBVTT files
• Timing: Split segments by words, sentences, duration
• Supports input formats like MP3, WAV, CAF, AIFC, M4A, MP4
This app wouldn’t be possible without the work of Georgi Gerganov an his excellent port of OpenAI’s Whisper model in C/C++ (whisper.ccp)

Ratings and Reviews
Exceptional Transcription App
Now that this app has been updated with OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition, the app really shines. It's fast, fairly accurate, and can create various file types for you (TXT, CSV, SRT, and VTT).
I do wish it had better batch options like automatically saving transcription files in a predetermined location and a 'Watch Folder' option to automatically begin transcription of files found in a folder.
Great work, keep the updates coming.
Developer Response ,
Your words really make me happy! 🤗 Love your idea of a “Watched Folder” and a predetermined export location — will see how I can build this! All the best, Martin
"It just works" should be the default, but it is not.
This app is exceptional: It just works.
I wish 99% of the other software I use (including Apple's ;-) would follow the non-default attitude of this app: Things should just work without having to go through aggravating ordeals.
I was pleasantly surprised by this app. I installed it and then I simply dropped a file with audio (it happened to be a video). After a few seconds, it activated a drop-down menu with "Export TXT. . ." and a choice of various formats.
In my case, the text transcription was 100% accurate.
Simple interface that does exactly what I wanted.
Gut gemacht. Herzlichen Glückwunsch und vielen Dank.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your exceptional feedback! 🥳 I’m delighted to hear that the app met your expectations with its simplicity and effectiveness. Your satisfaction is my top priority, and I’m glad it delivered. Your support inspires me to maintain and exceed this standard! Kind regards, Martin
Best $5 you can spend on an app
This is such a great app! I really care about privacy, and I don't want to send my audio/video to some cloud server somewhere to get transcribed. It's amazing that Whisper runs locally, and works so incredibly fast. 10/10 would recommend.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Nate! 🥳 It’s great to hear that my commitment to privacy and local processing with Whisper aligns with your values. Accuracy and privacy are top priorities, and your recommendation means a lot. Kind regards, Martin
