transcription.
Private by design.
Transcribe audio and video into accurate, editable text and subtitles with a focused desktop workflow designed for local processing and offline use.
We started with a simple question: how can the most useful parts of a conversation stay easy to find?
Exactly. Once the recording becomes text, the ideas feel easier to work with.
And keeping the process local means the material stays in your hands.
