LocalTranscript Betabeta
Early access to features still in testing. Expect rough edges, and keep it away from meetings you can't redo.
On an Intel Mac?
The Apple Silicon build is ready today. Intel support is coming. Leave your email and we'll tell you the day it lands.
One email when the Intel build ships. Nothing else.
Models and hardware.
Transcription models download once during setup and run locally. What you pick decides speed, size and accuracy:
Everyday models
Fast multilingual models for meetings and dictation in German, French, Italian, English and other supported languages. The quickest option, with the lightest hardware load.
Whisper Large
The most accurate option for supported languages. Expect a multi-gigabyte download, higher memory use and longer processing times.
Swiss German
A dedicated model that transcribes Swiss German speech into written Standard German, separate from the multilingual models. One current model option; it runs locally like everything else.
Models can be added, changed or repaired later from the app's settings; downloads only start when you ask for them. Processing time varies with the model, the recording length and your hardware.
