Every transcription service wants your audio on their servers. Your meetings, your interviews, your ideas — uploaded, processed, and stored somewhere you can’t see.
TranscribeX works differently. The AI models run on your Mac. Your files never leave your device. There’s no account, no upload queue, and no per-minute bill.
You drop in a file. You get a transcript. That’s the whole thing.
— The TranscribeX teamThe full cycle, fully automatic
Join the meeting. That’s your only job.
TranscribeX notices when a meeting starts in Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, Discord, or any macOS app — then runs the whole pipeline on its own. It records audio and video, so the slides, screen shares, and demos are saved right alongside every word. And it does it with no bots: nothing joins your call, and nothing shows up in the participant list. You don’t press record. You don’t press anything.
No clicks. No babysitting. The full result is waiting when the meeting ends.
Every speaker, labelled. Automatically.
TranscribeX separates and labels every voice in your recording. Teach it a voice once with Voice Profiles, and you’ll never see “Speaker 1” again — just names. Perfect for meetings, interviews, and podcasts.
See speech become text. In real time.
Watch the transcript build while meetings and recordings are still happening. Capture the flow as it unfolds, then keep the complete transcript ready for export, review, or AI follow-up.
An hour of audio. The gist in seconds.
Summarize transcripts with ChatGPT, Gemini, or a fully local model through Ollama. Chat with your transcripts, ask follow-up questions, and use predefined AI prompts to speed up your workflow.
Hold a key. Speak. Watch it typed.
Dictate into any Mac app — hold a key of your choice, talk, release, and the text lands right at your cursor. AI polish strips the “um”s, fixes the “Tuesday… wait, no, Wednesday” moments, and formats numbers and lists — while the speech itself never leaves your Mac. fn is all it takes.
Bring your own AI. Or run one built in.
Every AI feature in TranscribeX — summaries, chat, dictation polish, translation — runs on whichever brain you choose.
Plug in any major AI service, or point TranscribeX at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Your keys, your models, your choice — switch providers any time.
One click downloads a local model that runs right inside the app. No API key, no account, no subscription, no per-token bill — and your transcripts never leave your Mac.
One click turns a full meeting into a report — key points, decisions, and action items. Your own notes get woven into the summary too.
Ask your transcripts anything — follow-up questions, clarifications, even “what did Sarah say about the budget?” Conversations are saved, with full Markdown replies.
Predefined prompts for the common jobs, plus unlimited custom prompts you write once and reuse everywhere — summaries, chat, and dictation polish.
Pick the engine that fits. Or try them all.
Every model downloads once and runs entirely on your Mac — switch engines per job, per language, or per mood.
The accuracy benchmark. Every size from Tiny to Large V3 Turbo, transcribing 100+ languages with best-in-class precision.
The speed engine. Up to 20× faster than Whisper with balanced accuracy, plus low-latency streaming variants built for live captions.
Modern multilingual recognition with a forced-aligner companion model for precise word-level timestamps.
The speech engine built into macOS — nothing extra to download, instant startup, and 30 locale variants.
Fine-tuned Whisper — optimized for your language
Community fine-tunes of Whisper Large V3, each trained specifically for one language — noticeably better than the general model on accents, names, and local phrasing.
The list keeps growing — don’t see your language? Request it and we’ll add it.
Drop a file. Any file. Or a whole folder.
Drag audio or video straight into TranscribeX — or point it at a folder and it transcribes new files as they arrive. Queue hundreds at once with batch transcription, then play everything back with the built-in player.
