Silkwave Voice is a privacy-focused audio recording and transcription app for macOS. Record from your microphone, system audio, or both at once, or import audio and video files you already have, with accurate, real-time transcription powered by Apple's on-device speech-to-text models. See who said what with on-device speaker identification, ask follow-up questions, and get AI summaries of any recording without leaving the app. No cloud uploads, no subscriptions, no per-minute API costs.
